DeSantis and Haley Distance Themselves from Trump VP Consideration
As the GOP primary heats up, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley make clear their intentions to not serve as Trump's vice president, focusing on their own political futures.
- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis firmly rejects the idea of being Donald Trump's vice president, criticizing Trump's reliance on 'identity politics' and expressing frustration with conservative media's coverage.
- Nikki Haley, the only major candidate still challenging Trump for the GOP nomination, has seen her chances of winning dwindle, with her campaign focusing on criticizing Trump and looking beyond the South Carolina primary.
- Despite Trump's dominance in early primaries, DeSantis and Haley's refusal to consider the VP position underscores their broader political ambitions and criticisms of Trump's leadership.
- DeSantis leaves the door open for a potential 2028 presidential run, while Haley's campaign continues despite polling significantly behind Trump.
- Supporters of Haley in South Carolina express hope for her continued presence in the race, viewing her as a potential 'insurance policy' against Trump's legal and health uncertainties.
