Running for second place?

CHARLESTON, SC — Former Governor and Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Hayley announced Tuesday that she has launched her campaign for someone to select her as a running mate in their future presidential bid.
"It is my lifelong dream to be Vice President and I will be happy to serve whoever asks me to be their running mate," Hayley said in her announcement video. "Trump or DeSantis. Whatever. I'm not picky."
Trump is reportedly confident that Nikki Hayley is just what his ticket needs to defeat Biden and reclaim the presidency. "You gotta' fight fire with fire," Trump said. "Kamala's a woman, so I need a woman to throw at her. Nikki's the best, believe me. I've checked."
Gov Ron DeSantis has not officially announced his candidacy for the presidency, but experts believe it's only a matter of time before he attempts to challenge Trump for the presidential throne. However, he would not comment on whether or not he would ask Nikki Hayley to be his running mate.
At publishing time, Sarah Palin had also announced a new campaign for someone to pick her for anything, anything at all.

hey, I’m available too!
I hope this is one case that Babylon Bee is not true. All too often they deliver straight news instead of satire.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Trump picked Haley...
She would have some big kneepads to fill.
She’s far different and more capable than the current VP.
The Bee is good.
I thought I read somewhere that her parents weren’t citizens when she was born. Can someone clarify?
Or Ron DeSantis
He’ll pick whoever he thinks brings in more votes. Probably the reason he picked Pence was because he felt he needed help with evangelicals after the knock down - drag out with Ted Cruz. Same dynamics will apply and will be dictated by what happens in the primary.
Yes same with Ron Ds
Heh.
Same here.
FReepers are going to grumble but Trump is going to need more than just his devoted base if he wants to win. He'll need to make peace with the establishment GOP wing of the party and he'll need to appeal to moderate/suburban/female voters. And that means he's probably going to make some decisions with regard to his running mate that people here aren't going to like.
No matter who he chooses, I expect FReepers to be disappointed by Trump's VP pick. Fact is, he's not stupid and he knows he's going to need to choose someone who brings the independent/moderate swing voter back home, someone who can help him flip the key battleground states that he won in 2016 and then lost in 2020. Nikki Haley is a strong contender is this regard.
They weren't but it doesn't matter, --except to a handful of birther retards still waiting for Orly Taitz to nullify the Obama presidency.
It certainly won't matter to Donald Trump who isn't buying any of their nonsense.
That's key. Which is why he should pick Bradley Cooper or something similar.
That’s what I think too. It may have been better for her to just speak with president Trump about it. I think she could make a good candidate and veep
No sale. Not even as a joke.
Sorry, not qualified, not lots of things. I will never vote for her. She is wasting her time and money thinking that an anchor baby of illegal alien Indians has any standing to be US president. She had a good run as governor and as UN ambassador, now should retire with family back to India.
Seems dumb to announce on Valentine’s Day, as it it’s about her…
I tend to agree. Trump is very very poor at picking his allies. His back is so full of knives he looks like a porcupine.
