DailyKenn.com — In a swift turn of events, just a day after reports surfaced that Nikki Haley was being considered as a potential running mate by Donald Trump's campaign, Trump himself intervened and dismissed the idea.
Haley alienated many patriots when she removed the Confederate flag from the South Carolina capital while serving as governor.
Taking to his Truth Social platform, Trump stated, "Nikki Haley is not under consideration for the V.P. slot, but I wish her well!" Signing off with "DJT," he emphasized that it was a personal message.
Both Trump and Haley's spokespeople declined to comment when approached about the matter on Friday.
Trump has criticized Haley's qualifications for the presidency, and their policy differences, particularly on matters like foreign policy and social programs, remain evident.
Pressure is mounting on Haley to initiate efforts towards unity, especially among some Republican donors. However, she has faced challenges in reconciling with her former rivals from the primary race, none of whom endorsed her.
As Trump considers his running mate selection, opposition to Haley from some quarters within the GOP is apparent, particularly due to her hawkish foreign policy stance. Notably, figures like Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump Jr. have expressed strong reservations about Haley's candidacy.
Amidst speculation about his running mate, Trump has indicated that he will likely make a decision closer to the Republican National Convention in July. While some like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have ruled themselves out, Haley has been ambiguous about her stance, although she declared it "off the table" just before the New Hampshire primary.
