At a New Hampshire rally on Monday, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley was unexpectedly approached by a pro-Trump heckler and asked to marry.
While speaking to her fans at the Artisan Hotel in Salem, the Republican presidential contender was interrupted by a Trump supporter who said, “Will you marry me?” The sudden marriage proposal elicited laughter from the audience and Haley, aged 57.
The former UN Ambassador, who is married to Maj. Michael Haley promptly responded to the lighthearted proposition by asking her suitor whether he would vote for her.
“I’m voting for Trump,” the man responded after a little silence.
“Oh, get out of here!” Haley hit back.
Internet reacts to the marriage proposal received by Haley
An X user published a video of the encounter on social media, prompting conflicting comments from netizens.
One X user said, “She doesn’t even try to convince him to vote for her, Vivek would have been like “let’s talk”.”
“Too funny! Nobody wants Nikki. We want Trump!” another added.
“She actually handled that pretty well,” one more user reacted.
