Chris Wallace Pinpoints Donald Trump's Egotistical 'Big Mistake' That May Doom Campaign

CNN s Chris Wallace explained how Donald Trump s failure to bring former Republican primary rival Nikki Haley on board with his 2024 campaign could end up costing the ex-president the election.

On Wednesdays broadcast of One World, anchor Bianna Golodryga noted how Haley was pulling in about 20% of the Republican vote even after she dropped out of the primary race. Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is now aggressively courting that vote, she said. Haley has reportedly offered to assist Trump but he has declined.

How much of a missed opportunity is this for the Trump campaign? Golodryga asked Wallace.

Big. Its a big mistake, Wallace replied.

Theres clearly no love lost between Trump and Haley, he continued, noting the animosity that grew between the pair during the primary race. Haley this week criticized certain elements of Trumps campaign, including its overly masculine tone.

But the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations still endorsed Trump , Wallace said, at the Republican National Convention and its her hold on that 20% of the Republican vote, of mainly suburban women who could put Trump over the top and who Harris is very much counting on.

But Wallace added, It feels like its just sheer ego on the part of Donald Trump that he doesnt reach out to her, he hasnt campaigned with her.

Its just a completely self-inflicted wound by Trump, which I think is all about his ego, he said.
