Donald Trump said Nikki Haley isn’t under consideration to be his running mate as the former president sharpens his focus on possible vice presidential candidates.
Trump’s comment on his social media platform followed an Axios report earlier Saturday that his campaign has been actively considering Haley, who served as his ambassador to the United Nations. She was Trump’s closest rival in this year’s Republican primaries before dropping out of the presidential race in March.
