- Nikki Haley is to speak at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Tuesday
- Like all Republican 2024 hopefuls she must negotiate a Trump-shaped shadow
- In an interview, she trod a middle way, saying he had a big role to play in the GOP
- ‘He has the ability to get strong people elected,’ she said
- But she also disagreed with him on the outcome of the 2020 election
- She said there was insufficient fraud to cost Trump victory
- It marks a shift from her earlier criticism of Trump’s final days in office which triggered a backlash and produced a softer tone from Haley
