Former President Donald Trump has ruled out Nikki Haley as his potential vice president, stating during a campaign event in Concord, New Hampshire, on Friday that she is “not presidential timber.” Trump, aiming for a 2024 White House comeback, has not officially disclosed his running mate but emphasized the importance of loyalty to his agenda in the selection process. While considering the possibility of diversifying his ticket with a woman or person of color, Trump has been critical of Haley, his former ambassador to the United Nations. Haley, who served in the UN role from 2017 to 2018, has been actively campaigning in early voting states, highlighting her foreign policy experience and gubernatorial record in South Carolina. Despite a strained relationship with Trump since the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, where she criticized his role, Haley has sought to appeal to both Trump supporters and critics. Trump, in response, has accused Haley of disloyalty, mocked her for changing stances, and criticized her recent endorsement of Senator Marco Rubio, whom he labeled a “disaster.” Trump’s supporters cheered his remarks at a rally, where he expressed confidence in winning the New Hampshire primary and securing the nomination to ultimately defeat President Joe Biden in the general election. Haley, while not immediately responding to Trump’s comments, has previously expressed respect for his decision on the running mate and emphasized her focus on her own campaign, advocating for a united Republican Party and offering a positive vision for the future.
