Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has accepted an offer to speak at the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin this week as the GOP gathers to support their presumptive presidential nominee after narrowly escaping assassination, the Washington Examiner has confirmed.

Haley released her 97 delegates to former President Donald Trump last week. Her willingness to offer public support for her one-time rival comes after Trump survived an attempted assassination on Saturday.

Haley is expected to speak on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether the assassination played a role in Haley’s reversal from previously stating she would not attend.

“This should horrify every freedom loving American,” Haley said Saturday of the shooting. “Violence against presidential candidates must never be normalized. We are lifting up Donald Trump, the entire Trump family, and all in attendance in prayer.”
