In a series of emphatic denials, former President Donald Trump has put to rest the swirling rumors that Nikki Haley, his one-time political rival, is being considered for the vice-presidential slot on his ticket. Despite various reports suggesting Haley was under active consideration, Trump took to social media to clarify his stance, stating unequivocally that Haley is not on his shortlist for the vice president position. This announcement comes amid speculation about who might join Trump as he eyes another run for the presidency, with names like Sen. Tim Scott, Rep. Elise Stefanik, and Gov. Doug Burgum being floated as potential running mates.
Trump's dismissal of Haley as a potential vice president candidate underscores the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of political alliances and rivalries within the Republican Party.

It just goes to show, in politics, your allies one day might not necessarily hold the same position tomorrow, especially in the libertarian view of keeping your options open and aligning with those who best represent your current stance and strategy.
