Trump hinted at the possibility of former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley joining his team, despite their contentious history during the GOP nomination battle. Reacting to Haley's recent declaration that she would vote for Trump in the upcoming election, Trump expressed optimism about their future collaboration. Following a campaign rally in the South Bronx, New York City, Trump spoke with Long Island's News 12 about his potential alliance with Haley. He noted their shared ideological ground and praised her capabilities, despite the rough edges of their past campaign interactions.

 

"Well, I think she’s gonna be on our team because we have a lot of the same ideas, same thoughts," Trump said. "I appreciated what she said. You know, we had a nasty campaign. It was pretty nasty. But she’s a very capable person, and I’m sure she’s going to be on our team in some form. Absolutely." Haley, who served as the U.N. ambassador during Trump's administration, recently announced her intention to vote for Trump. While she stopped short of a full endorsement, she emphasized the critical need for change, citing President Biden's tenure as disastrous.

 

"As a voter, I put my priorities on a president who’s going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account, who would secure the border, no more excuses," Haley remarked at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank she joined last month. Her comments signal a pragmatic alignment with Trump’s policies over those of the current administration. Haley, who concluded her own presidential campaign in March, also urged Trump to engage with the millions of voters who supported her during the GOP primary contests, hinting at her potential influence within the party.

 

Despite the speculation, Trump refrained from disclosing his pick for vice president. However, he did offer a glimpse into his thoughts, mentioning several potential candidates. “You could take people like Ben Carson, you could take people like Marco Rubio, JD Vance. I mean, there are so many. Elise’s [Stefanik] doing a fantastic job,” Trump said, referencing the former Department of Housing and Urban Development secretary, and Republican senators from Florida and Ohio, respectively, as well as the Republican representative from New York. “But I could go on for quite a long time.”

 

The former president added that there is a "good chance" he will announce his choice for running mate at the Republican National Convention in July, keeping the political world on tenterhooks.

As the election season heats up, Trump’s strategic movements and potential alliances will be closely watched. Haley’s willingness to support Trump, despite their previous rivalry, underscores a pragmatic unity within the Republican ranks as they gear up for a challenging election. The coming months will reveal whether this unity can translate into a formidable political force against the current administration.

I doubt she really shares the same ideas she a republican trump isent he might choose her as VP but I don’t think she’s subservient enough perhaps a cabinet or ambassador position poor Nicky it must really be hideous to have to kiss the orange posterior yuck!!

Trump only wants her supporters.  He's not too happy about her being mean to him, doubtful she'll ever be an insider again.  Haley has become so disgustingly political, it's sad to watch.  Her supporters may never support her again....

 

[By announcing her intention to vote for Donald Trump for president, Nikki Haley did the most Nikki Haley thing possible: She caved to Trump and depressed every conservative Never Trumper who pulled the lever for her.]

They're on completely different sides on the Russian war on Ukraine.

He's just making a play for the stupider set of her supporters.

She loves the smell of soiled diapers 

They deserve each other.

Nikki Haley is in Israel now, signing IDF bombs.

IMO if/when the GOP cleans up its act they will purge all those who were part of the MAGA farce.  It will be like in the doomsday movies where the survivors who turned cannibal will be killed off.  But things are going to get a lot worse for the US right-wing before they get better, and the Dems seem to be playing it smart (for a change): back off and let them devour each other.  The present GOP is bothered by this, it really irked them that during McCarthy's SOTH fiasco the Dems were laughing and boozing it up while they were wringing their hands.

On the other hand I do not at all cherish the arrival of the New GOP headed by the likes of Liz Cheney, but I may not live to see that (Cheney 2032?).  It looks like Nikki will not be allowed into the new fold.

 

BTW I still stand by the possibility that by the time November comes around neither of the two major party's current candidates will be in the running.
