The campaign of Nikki Haley denounces Governor Ron DeSantis as a “phony” and brushes aside his efforts to exert pressure on her to accept former President Donald Trump’s offer to serve as vice president. Both nationally and in the early nominating states, Trump is currently leading the polls.
DeSantis made it clear on Friday that, should he win the GOP nomination, he has no desire to serve as Donald Trump’s running mate. Then he criticized Haley for sidestepping the subject of vice president when asked by Republican voters.

“She will not answer directly — and she owes you an answer to this — will she accept a vice presidential nomination from Donald Trump? Yes or no?” DeSantis said during a campaign stop in New Hampshire. “And I can tell you under any circumstance I will not accept that because that’s not why I’m running. I’m running for the nomination and to be president. … I’d rather be governor than vice president, no question.”
In response to a query for comment from USA First Reporting, the Haley campaign stated that it has turned down all offers to run for vice president.
“Phony Ron DeSantis has spent ten times more money attacking Nikki Haley than Donald Trump. He’ll say anything to try to salvage his sinking ship of a campaign. Nikki has been very clear from day one, she doesn’t play for second,” a campaign spokesperson said. “Ron is trying to play for fourth in New Hampshire.”
Lara Trump muses over the prospect of Nikki Haley being Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee. She admits that unexpected developments have happened in the past and expresses uncertainty about the future in an interview with Eric Bolling of Newsmax. She stresses that nothing is completely off the table, so a collaboration with Donald J. Trump is not completely out of the question.
The previous U.S. Having served in the administration of the previous president, the ambassador to the UN and a member of Trump’s cabinet offers invaluable experience. Trump, on the other hand, has mockingly called her a “birdbrain” during his campaign, a response to her presidential candidature.
The Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary are quickly approaching, and time is running out for the non-Trump contenders. There is not much more time for them to influence voters and gain their support.

On January 10, Haley and DeSantis are slated to engage in a debate in Iowa, sponsored by CNN. As of right now, neither Chris Christie nor Vivek Ramaswamy are eligible to participate in the debate. Given his lack of participation in the first four GOP primary debates this year, it is unlikely that Trump will take part.
