海利选民工作组执行董事、Primary Pivot联合创始人罗伯特·施瓦茨组织了这次电话会议。
施瓦茨还告诉ABC新闻,在海莉分享她将投票给特朗普之前,这通电话就已经计划好了。
施瓦茨告诉ABC新闻,出现在电话中的选民来自几个州,包括马萨诸塞州、弗吉尼亚州、佛蒙特州以及战场州亚利桑那州和佐治亚州。
在电话中,选民们分享了对他们进入11月至关重要的政策问题。施瓦茨告诉ABC新闻,选民最常提出的问题是边境和移民问题。
施瓦茨还分享说,电话中一位愿意投票给拜登的选民对总统停止向以色列提供武器表示担忧。
拜登竞选团队已经努力通过数字广告和招募她以前的捐赠者来接触海莉联盟。
在海莉的竞选活动于3月份暂停后,美国广播公司新闻部与海莉的支持者进行了交谈,他们决定在2024年大选中投票给谁。
住在田纳西州纳什维尔的25岁的杰克·拉弗兰基(Jack LaFrankie)告诉美国广播公司新闻,他尊重哈利在11月投票给特朗普的决定。
“我非常尊重她的意见,并将考虑她的话,但最终她是一名政治家,将根据未来的政治可行性做出决定,”LaFrankie告诉ABC新闻。
拉弗兰基仍未决定在11月支持谁,他说,海利支持特朗普的决定“没有立即”让他朝着前总统的方向前进,但他说,随着选举的临近,他可能会把它作为一个因素。
“在接下来的六个月里会发生很多事情,”LaFrankie说。

Those who met with Peñalosa included former members of Haley's campaign leadership team for some states, Women for Haley and other voters who supported the former United Nations ambassador's presidential run.
Robert Schwartz, executive director of the Haley Voters Working Group and co-founder of Primary Pivot, organized the call.
Schwartz also told ABC News that this call was already planned before Haley shared that she would vote for Trump.
Schwartz told ABC News that voters who appeared on the call were from several states, including Massachusetts, Virginia, Vermont, and the battleground states of Arizona and Georgia.
On the call, voters shared policy issues that were important to them heading into November. Schwartz told ABC News that the issues voters brought up most frequently were the border and immigration.
Schwartz also shared that a voter on the call who was open to voting for Biden expressed concern over the president halting weapon delivery to Israel.
The Biden campaign has made an effort to reach out to the Haley coalition through digital ads and recruiting her former donors.
ABC News has spoked to Haley supporters following the March suspension of her campaign and as they decided who they will vote for in the 2024 general election.
Jack LaFrankie, a 25-year-old who lives in Nashville, Tennessee, told ABC News that he respects Haley's decision to vote for Trump in November.
"I respect her opinion a lot and will consider what she said, but ultimately she is a politician who is going to make decisions based on future political viability," LaFrankie told ABC News.
LaFrankie, who is still undecided about who he'll support in November, said that Haley's decision to support Trump did "not immediately" move him in the direction of the former president, but said that he may use it as a factor as the election nears.
"So much can happen in the next six months," LaFrankie said.
