Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy suggested that former President Trump should choose Nikki Haley as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election.
McCarthy emphasized the importance of selecting a vice president who could attract additional voters and mentioned that the current anti-Trump sentiment might benefit Haley.
He highlighted the need to appeal to the Republican base and independents, and expressed that Haley could potentially convince more voters to support the Trump ticket. (Trending: Greta Thunberg Caught on Video Going Full Anti-Semite)

“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 responded.
“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.
“Well, right now I think it would be Nikki Haley, in my view. But the question is: Who you select, will they serve? So that’s another question you have to have. And it’s about addition.”
McCarthy also emphasized the significance of Trump’s campaign message and mentioned that Haley’s recent rise in national polls positions her as a strong candidate.

“Do you think she would serve?” journalist Andrew Sorkin asked.
“It’s up to Nikki,” McCarthy responded. “But this is a bigger question for Trump: If his campaign is about renew, rebuild and restore, he’ll win. If it’s about revenge, he’ll lose. The only person that’s going to determine that is — not his campaign ad — is him.”
“The campaign is still going. There’s a very good chance I would endorse President Trump,” McCarthy said, later adding, “I believe President Trump will be our nominee and I believe President Trump will get reelected.”
