Nikki Haley releases delegates and urges them to support Trump at convention

Move goes toward solidifying Republican support around the party's presumptive nominee

Nikki Haley is releasing the delegates she won during this year's Republican primary so that they're free to support Donald Trump at next week's convention, a move that goes toward solidifying GOP support around the party's presumptive nominee.

Haley on Tuesday opted to release 97 delegates she won across a dozen primaries and caucuses earlier this year, according to her former campaign.
