According to sources familiar with the conversations, former President Donald Trump has been seeking input from allies and advisers regarding the potential candidacy of Nikki Haley for vice president. However, GOP sources have reported that the feedback from the MAGA crowd has been overwhelmingly negative, leading Trump allies to work against the possibility of a Trump-Haley ticket.
Recent polls have shown Haley gaining ground, with one internal prediction suggesting she could be a close third in Iowa to DeSantis, or even come in second. Despite this, Trump dismissed the polls as "fake" in an interview with conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt, and expressed no concern about Haley as a challenger.
