Representative Kevin McCarthy, the former GOP House speaker, said that if former President Donald Trump secures the Republican nomination in 2024, as most assume he will, he ought to designate political rival Nikki Haley as his vice president.
“If I was a political person, and I was going to advise somebody, you’re going to pick the vice president that’s about addition, not subtraction. So you’re not going to pick somebody that already equates to you,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) told Andrew Ross Sorkin.
“Now if I was picking for purely political decisions, what it looks like today is the anti-Trump vote is going to Nikki Haley,” he added.

God forbid.
Under no circumstances! This is nothing more the RINOS trying to worm their cancer into the next Trump administration so they can have their man on the inside to quietly sabotage him. Absolutely no! If Trump picks anyone - at all - who is not fully vetted as being 100% on board with America first, then I will have second thoughts about voting for Trump.
That skank lead the effort to erase our Civil War history. Leading the charge to remove Battle flags, the state flag of SC and various statues of Confederate heroes is beyond the pale. She has no understanding of of our customs, culture or history.
She needs to go back to Calcutta and run for office...Sick of these goobers coming over here and telling us how it’s done.
If Trump falls for this, he lost my vote.
I read the headline . . . .my out loud response... You must be kidding!
Excellent points.
And the grammatical errors aside, why would he say, if he were a political person, he would do this or that? He is a political person. He is a career politician who was briefly at the Pinnacle of his career , as Speaker of the House.
Make that Hell NO!
Do they want to drive me to Biden?
Nope to the anchor baby.
I send money to Kennedy knowing it hurts Biden in the end but I will vote that way if Trump has the slightest whiff of RINO around him.
Trump and DeSantis better start working together, through back channels, so they can nip this Haley stupidity in the bud.
We can’t have Haley showing up at the convention #2 in delegates, because that will create pressure to make her the VP.
This can’t be allowed to happen.
Why not? They share a lot of positions and I’ve always thought this would be the endgame. Or possibly he’ll drop out and she’ll then be the anointed candidate. I think his ego would make him prefer a woman to a man as his stand in.
These are such strange times that anything is possible.
Oh, hell no!
You’re nuts Kevin... Put down the wine glass.
You mean you would actually consider voting for Nikki? Get a grip.
Oh hell no
Never noticed they have similar beaks.
If Trump was considering it this should be enough to kill it.
McCarthy hasn’t proposed (yet) that if Trump gets a guilty verdict in the Chutkan case, the GOP should award all his delegates to Haley. Maybe they are not sure that verdict will happen before November 2024.
