Former 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley responded on Wednesday to President-elect Trump’s public snub about not choosing her to work in his administration.

“I had no interest in being in his cabinet. He knew that. But to go a little further, his best friend, Steve Witkoff, came to our house in South Carolina, spoke to me and my husband, and basically wanted a truce between me and Donald Trump. And I told him at the time, there was no truce needed, that I had, that Trump had my support, there was no issue on my end,” Haley said on her Sirius XM show.

“And at that point he was like, ‘What do you want? Tell me what you want. Is there anything you want?’ And I said, ‘There’s nothing I want.’ And there wasn’t anything I wanted,” she added.

Haley said she had a conversation with Howard Lutnick, Trump’s transition director, about potential cabinet picks but she did not discuss a position for her. 

Trump posted on social media that Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo won’t be in his second administration.

“I know the game he was playing. I don’t need to play that game,” Haley said. “Do I take it personally? No. That’s who he is. He can be shallow at times and I think he showed that. But I don’t have to be shallow. And at the end of the day, I’m very comfortable with where I am, and I’m comfortable with what happened.”

Haley said she would advise Republicans to “understand this is not about a ‘gotcha’ or you know, celebrating too much” but that it’s time to get to work. 

“We should pray that everyone that he appoints does well. We should hope for the sake of our kids and generations to follow us, that all of this goes forward,” Haley said.

“We’ve got a border that needs to be closed. We’ve got a debt that’s out of control. We have a lot of regulations that have been holding back businesses,” she also said.
