Nicolle Wallace has been around politics for a long time, and Republican politics specifically. So she's seen her share of politicians debase themselves at the altar of Donald Trump over the years, from Ted Cruz to Marco Rubio to Lindsey Graham, and more recently with J.D. Vance and Elise Stefanik, among others. But the recent example of Nikki Haley seems to have genuinely caught her by surprise. It should not have.
Even a cursory examination of Nikki Haley's career made the political calculation inevitable for her blind ambition. Go against Trump right now and alienate his base, which is the Republican Party. She would never marginalize herself in this way, so she had to bend the knee and kiss his ring, just like the rest of them.

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley endorsed Donald Trump following a bitter GOP primary in which the former president repeatedly demeaned her.
“I will be voting for Trump,” she declared on Wednesday. “Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me.”
Haley was a harsh critic of Trump, under whom she served as ambassador to the U.N. However, with her campaign over, she is following in the footsteps of so many former Republican challengers to Trump by backing her former tormentor.
