Nikki Haley as Donald Trump's VP choice? Why Trump Jr. threatens to ensure it never happens

Donald Trump Jr. has made it clear that he will strongly oppose any move to make Nikki Haley the running mate of his father in the US Presidential Election 2024. Calling the former UN ambassador a 'puppet of the establishment in Washington, DC, the eldest son of Donald Trump has said that he wouldn’t have her and he would go to great lengths to make sure that that doesn’t happen. Speaking to Newsmax’s Eric Bolling in a recent interview, he said, "Nikki Haley wants never-ending wars. She’s a puppet of the establishment in Washington, DC. She’s the new favorite candidate of the billionaire class because they want control— no different than academia and Harvard and using their billions to exercise influence."

Nikki Halley surges ahead

Nikki Halley came within four points of Trump in 2024 GOP primary polling over recent weeks. She served as Donald Trump’s US ambassador to the UN from 2017 to 2018. While she was surging ahead in popularity, rumors had been doing rounds about her being his vice president pick.


Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s campaign has needled her over the VP chatter and recently launched a website for Trump-Nikki 2024. According to CBS reports, the former president has asked some of his confidants for their thoughts as Haley serving as vice president.

Nikki Halley rejects rumors

On the other hand, Halley rejected the speculation of vice presidential aspirations, saying she does not run for second. Besides, she has criticized Donald Trump, saying that “chaos and drama” follow him.

Attacking DeSantis, Donald Trump Jr said, "Ron DeSantis has proven that he doesn’t have what it takes to be on that stage. He’s embarrassed himself that way. She is now the preferred candidate."
