Amidst reports suggesting Nikki Haley’s inclusion in a shortlist of potential vice presidential candidates for former President Donald Trump, she unequivocally dismissed any speculation about serving in that capacity again.
“I don’t want to be anybody’s vice president,” asserted the former South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador during an interaction with voters at Mary Ann’s Diner in Amherst, New Hampshire, The Boston Globe reports. She emphasized that such a role has always been off the table, reiterating a longstanding stance.
While media reports identified Haley as part of a shortlist for the vice presidential position, alongside Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, chair of the House Republican Conference, opposition within Trump’s inner circle is evident. Notably, Donald Trump Jr. voiced his strong opposition in late December, stating to Newsmax, “I would go to great lengths to make sure that that doesn’t happen.”
Despite Haley’s significant efforts to gain support in New Hampshire, where she trails Trump by 15.3 percentage points in the FiveThirtyEight polling average, Trump’s lead has been expanding since his decisive victory in the Iowa caucuses.
During a visit to the New Hampshire diner, a resident expressed concerns to Haley about her potential role as Trump’s VP candidate and her pledge to pardon Trump if elected president, especially considering his lead over her in polls.
Haley clarified her stance, stating, “I don’t want to be vice president,” and emphasized that her intention in considering a pardon for Trump would be to unify the country rather than serving his personal interests. According to the Globe, she articulated, “If there’s an 80-year-old president sitting in jail, you are going to see the country continue to be divided. It would be for the good of the country, not for the good of him.”

Well then you will need a visitors pass to enter the White House and even that may not help come January
Whether she wants to be vice president or not makes no difference because none of the other potential 2024 nominees are offering it to her anyway.
Seriously. My fortunate cookie cutter says she is cold beg a fourth candidate.
Maybe she can just go back to South Carolina and roast marshmallows with broken Sarah Palin.
The cookie grind away sweet.
Don’t worry, Nikki. Nobody will take you as their vice president nor for anything else.
