Former President Donald Trump on Saturday scratched at least one name off of his sprawling list for potential running mates in November.
Republican presidential candidate former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley speaks during a news conference, March 6, 2024, in Charleston, S.C. Haley’s base of voters and donors was never big enough to seriously challenge Donald Trump. But her supporters are still splintered …
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who was also the last Republican presidential candidate standing in the way of the ex-president’s push to retake the White House, was reportedly being considered as Mr. Trump’s vice presidential pick.“Nikki Haley is not under consideration for the V.P. slot, but I wish her well! DJT,” Mr. Trump said.
The pair have had a frosty relationship since Ms. Haley launched her now-defunct presidential campaign. Her name had not been seriously considered for the veepstakes until Axios reported that Trump world insiders said she was under serious consideration. But crossing her name off the list does not help much in trying to narrow down who exactly Mr. Trump will tap to be his running mate. The ex-president has said that he would make his choice closer to the GOP’s Republican National Convention in July, similar to how he chose former Vice President Mike Pence to be his running mate.
Among possible choices that have been floated are former presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott, South Carolina Republican, Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Rep. Elise Stefanik, New York Republican.
