The former president of the United States Donald Trump, who is again a candidate for the White House, assured this Saturday (05/11/2024) through his Truth Social network that his former Republican rival, the former US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, is not one of the people you are considering for the vice president position.
“Nikki Haley is not under consideration for the position of vice president,” said the Republican candidate, cutting off speculation in this regard. “But I wish him the best!” he added. The choice of Haley, whom Trump has long nicknamed “birdbrain,” an insult that literally translates to “bird brain,” would have been surprising.
However, the former governor of South Carolina is popular among moderate and independent Republican voters, votes that President and Trump rival Joe Biden could take from the Republican candidate. Trump’s entourage, consulted by the AFP agency, refused to give details about the candidate’s preferred profile.
Several names circulate
“Anyone who claims to know who or when President Trump will choose his vice president is lying,” said one of his advisers. “Unless that person’s name is Donald Trump.” The news site Axios was the one that reported that Trump would be considering Haley’s name to accompany him in an eventual new term in the White House, as long as he was convinced that she could help him win the election.
Despite everything, predictions abound about who the septuagenarian candidate will nominate as his running mate for the November presidential elections. Among the most circulated names are Senators Marco Rubio, Tim Scott and JD Vance, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and New York legislator Elise Stefanik.
