Donald Trump on Saturday made it clear that former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is not on his running mate shortlist, quieting rumors that his campaign had been considering her as an option.

“Nikki Haley is not under consideration for the V.P. slot, but I wish her well!” the presumptive GOP presidential nominee wrote in a Truth Social post, signing the message “DJT.”

The comment came several hours after Axios reported that Haley was in the Trump campaign’s vice president conversation, citing two anonymous sources. Several media reports later echoed the rumors. The political calculus behind a Trump-Haley ticket is plain to see.

Haley’s wealthy donor base could help Trump make up his fundraising problems, which are compounded by legal fees related to several ongoing lawsuits. Plus, Haley, who has not yet endorsed the former president, could help win over Trump-skeptical Republican voters, whom President Joe Biden’s campaign has been vying for since Haley dropped out of the race.

You can see who started this thing... the very people who would be put in prison if he DID win. They are trying so hard to keep their ridiculous narrative going to sink Biden... for whatever idiotic reason.

2. Oh darn. I think she has so many reasons not to

I wonder who is advising her? Did they evaluate Trump is going down soon and best not to be stained with him?

4. Wonder if he is still considering the possible serial

killer as a running mate?

5. Of course his ego wouldn't allow him to pick her. Which is good for Democrats

She said mean things about him.
Also just the fact that she is still getting 20% of the votes pisses him off
She has blood from a "shithole" country

IF she agreed to it Which I would doubt on first glance, but she is a Republican, who served under and praised him in the past, so I also wouldn't put it past her to just pivot to being his biggest fan again, if offered the job.

Because IF he did swallow his pride and ran with her, AND she agreed, this would be terrible news for Biden / Harris. Enough no-Trump Rs would be won over if Haley assured them that she would be there to help him not be........too crazy. They'd win back the 20% + more independents that were still voting for her in the primaries. It would also show how King Trump could be merciful and allow a rival to kiss his ring, to his many loyal minions.

6. Hasn't Haley been calling trump a "loser".

She isn't a 2020 election denier either. And trump isn't the kind of person who forgives and forgets.

But I still wouldn't be surprised if they did get together. Repugs always do what they think will help them politically.

7. Not gonna happen.

She's smarter than he is (yeah, I know) & might upstage him, & no one upstages Dolt 45. He'll pick someone like Tim Scott who will be content to stay in the background & keep his yap shut.

8. It has to be Katie Britt

9. His current list includes Judge Cannon, Kim, Putin, Netanyahu, Ayatollah Greg Locke
