It’s being reported this morning that former President Trump is ‘actively’ considering asking Nikki Haley to be his running mate.
Here’s the report from Axios:
Nikki Haley is under active consideration by Donald Trump’s campaign to be his running mate, two people familiar with the dynamic told Axios.
The GOP rivals’ relationship remains chilly, but Trump could pick Haley if he were convinced she’d help him win the presidency, avoid a potential prison sentence and cover tens of millions in legal bills if he loses.
Republicans close to both campaigns believe it’s in Haley and Trump’s mutual interests to reconcile, despite their bitter fight in the GOP primary and their divergent views on some big issues.
Trump is scrambling to make up a fundraising disadvantage against President Biden and pay legal fees. Haley, meanwhile, has deep ties to donors who are wary of the former president.
A reconciliation with Haley, his former UN ambassador, also could help Trump cut attract some of the college-educated Republicans who have kept voting for her in primaries even after she dropped out.
Spokespeople for Trump and Haley declined to comment.
I know what Trump said about Haley before, but tt really wouldn’t surprise me if Trump were to ask Haley and she said yes. If Trump believes she will help give him more voters and win then the election, I think he’d do it in a heartbeat.
Of course this could also be a head fake. I could be wrong, but something in my gut says it’s for real.
