Kristi Noem lashes out at idea of Nikki Haley taking vice presidential spot on Trump ticket

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) wasn’t shy in sharing her feelings about former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley as former President Donald Trump’s possible running mate if he wins the Republican nomination, saying Tuesday it would be a mistake for him to choose her.

“If he picked Nikki Haley, would that be a mistake?” Newsmax’s Eric Bolling asked the governor, who has endorsed Trump.

“Yes,” she said.

“If he picked her, I would tell him I disagreed with him,” Noem said. However, she said it wouldn’t deter her from supporting the ticket “because he’s still the president, and the president still makes the decisions.”

The governor explained some of her opposition to Haley, telling Bolling, “I just had a lot of disagreements with Nikki Haley over the years, and I just don’t know which Nikki Haley is going to show up every day.”

“She’s a different person depending on whatever works for her political agenda,” she claimed.

The South Dakota Republican also said she had no new information about herself or others as possible running mates for Trump.

A Trump senior adviser told the Washington Examiner that it is far too early for such conversation about a vice presidential pick.

The topic of Haley as a running mate has emerged following speculation from Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) campaign that such a position was her end goal, as well as reports that Trump has been floating the idea to his advisers and that some allies are working furiously to quash the possible ticket.

Noem and Trump will speak at his campaign rally on Wednesday in Sioux City, Iowa.
