Nikki Haley

A majority of Trump supporters want Ron DeSantis to be Vice President if their guy gets back into the White House, according to a USA Today study. The paper also said there was more chance of snow in July.

"Sorry, folks," the reporter wrote. "That's almost certainly not going to happen, given the fractured relations between the two after DeSantis emerged for a time as the most likely alternative to Trump.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday that there were two factors keeping Republican politicians loyal to former President Donald Trump.

When asked why even Trump rivals such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley were reluctant to really attack him, Christie replied that there were two factors at play: "Fear and ambition."

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Nick Akerman — who was also one of the Department of Justice's assistant special prosecutors during the Watergate scandal of the 1970s — recently took both Democrats and Republicans to task for spreading what he called a "myth" about the role voters play in determining the constitutional eligibility of political candidates.

In an op-ed for the UK-based Independent, Akerman wrote that "majority voter approval is not a fundamental precept in the Constitution" when deciding a candidate's qualifications.

Republican supporters of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's presidential campaign are pushing her as the best alternative to 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. Billionaire Charles Koch, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu and other conservatives who have endorsed Haley clearly don't want Trump to be the nominee.

"War Room" host Steve Bannon, however, has a totally different viewpoint. Trump's former White House chief strategist believes that Haley will be forced into Trump's ticket if he is the nominee — and Bannon is vehemently opposed to the idea.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Trump UN Ambassador Nikki Haley will face off in the last GOP presidential debate before the "first in the nation" Iowa Republican caucuses, but this time Haley, not DeSantis, will likely be walking on stage as the number-two ranked candidate.

On Wednesday, January 10, Haley and DeSantis will appear on CNN's GOP presidential primary debate. Donald Trump, the front-runner for the Republican Party's nomination who is beating both candidates by about 50 points, will once again not participate in the nationally-televised debate. Instead, Trump will appear the same day at a Fox News town hall, CNN reports. CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate the debate.

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday said he would not attend the next GOP primary debate because it was being hosted by CNN, which he accused of "shenanigans."

In a post on the X social media platform, Ramaswamy cited repeated criticism from CNN personalities who have fact-checked his conspiracy theories about Jan. 6 and the 2020 election.

As Nikki Haley's position in the 2024 race for president becomes more contentious, she's sending out messages that — while she thinks Donald Trump's behavior has been reckless — she'd be inclined to pardon him of any convictions if she's elected president.

At a campaign event Thursday, Haley was even more specific — saying she would outright pardon Trump because it would "be in the best interest of the country."

One of the few elements of the Republican Party that has been slow to get behind another term for former President Donald Trump is in the Senate, where Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has become a constant target of anger for the former president, despite all he did to further his policy when he was last in office.

And yet, according to Politico, many Senate Republicans are beginning to fall in line behind Trump, as they accept the reality that he is all but the presumptive nominee already.

The campaign to elect Donald Trump as president ended 2023 with a full-on assault to “crush” the person now seen as his top contender, according to a report.

In the last two weeks, MAGA Inc. spent $3.4 million to run an ad attacking Nikki Haley over a gas tax in her home state of South Carolina, followed by $370,000 worth of anti-Haley mailers, the Daily Beast reported.
