‘Team Trump Ought To Be Concerned’: Karl Rove Cautions Former President Following Super Tuesday Victories

Fox News contributor Karl Rove warned former President Donald Trump’s campaign that it “ought to be concerned about unifying the Republican Party” on Tuesday after Trump defeated Nikki Haley in a dozen primaries across the country.

Despite calling Tuesday a “strong night for Donald Trump” and “a very good night for him,” Rove added, “Having said that, the high command of Team Trump ought to be concerned about unifying the Republican Party.”

The former George W. Bush White House adviser then held up a whiteboard showing significant support for Haley in Virginia, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Maine, and Vermont.

“As we see in these states, a third of the vote in Virginia; 43% of the vote in Massachusetts going to Nikki Haley; a quarter of the vote in North Carolina; Maine is now dropped down to about a quarter of the vote, but it was 31% for Nikki Haley; Vermont 48%,” said Rove, before arguing:

There’s still some work to be done to unify the Republican Party and that’s going to depend a lot on his tone tonight and whether or not he stops doing things like calling her “Bird Brain” and threatening that if you give money to her campaign you’re going to be permanently banned, and we’ll see how he does tonight. He did well in Iowa with his victory statement, unifying, humble, gracious. Not so good in New Hampshire, and tonight is going to be the big night and he’s gonna set an important tone for either a unified Republican Party or a divided Republican Party.

As of reporting, Trump has either won or is projected to win in 12 state primaries across the country, while Haley is projected to narrowly defeat Trump in Vermont.

Reporting from outside Haley’s Charleston headquarters on Tuesday evening, NBC News correspondent Ali Vitali likened the “jubilant” atmosphere in Haley’s campaign to “dancing on the deck of the Titanic.”
