Haley Pushes Back But Does Not Categorically Rule Out Being Trump’s Running Mate
Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has pushed back against speculation that she could be Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2020 presidential election.
In an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Haley said that she was “not interested” in being Trump’s running mate. She added that she was “very happy” with her current role as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.
However, Haley did not completely rule out the possibility of being Trump’s running mate. She said that she would “never say never” and that she would “always consider” any offer from the president.
Haley’s comments come after weeks of speculation that she could be Trump’s running mate. The speculation was fueled by a series of tweets from Trump praising Haley and her work at the United Nations.
Haley has been a vocal supporter of Trump since she left the South Carolina governor’s office in 2017. She has praised Trump’s foreign policy and has defended him against criticism from Democrats.
Haley’s comments on Sunday suggest that she is open to the possibility of being Trump’s running mate. However, it is unclear if Trump will actually offer her the position.
If Trump does offer Haley the position, it could be a major boost for his campaign. Haley is a popular figure in the Republican Party and her presence on the ticket could help Trump win over more moderate voters.
Only time will tell if Haley will be Trump’s running mate. For now, she has pushed back against the speculation but has not ruled out the possibility.
