Concord, N.H. – Former President Donald Trump spoke at a rally in New Hampshire, where he hinted that former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley is unlikely to be chosen as his running mate for the 2024 Republican nomination. During the rally held in Concord on Friday night, Trump voiced his opinion about Haley's presidential potential, stating, "She is not presidential timber." Trump's comments have led to speculation about who he may select as his potential vice president.

At the same rally, Trump received the endorsement of Senator Tim Scott from South Carolina, who had previously run for the White House but ended his campaign in November. In an interview with Fox News following the rally, Scott emphasized the need for Republican unity and backing Trump for the presidency, stating that the main goal should be to "fire Biden" as president. Scott's endorsement is highly sought after, as his popularity among Republican primary voters remains strong.

While Scott had previously dismissed talk of being a running mate when he dropped out of the race two months ago, a source in his political circle revealed that he has not ruled out the possibility of serving as Trump's vice presidential nominee if Trump secures the nomination in the coming weeks. The source commented, "I wouldn't be surprised if Scott remains in the conversation for running mate."

With Trump's significant victory in the Iowa caucuses on Monday, speculation has grown around who he may select as his running mate. Some names being mentioned include Representative Elise Stefanik from New York, who spoke at the Friday night rally and has been a vocal supporter of Trump, and Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, who campaigned for Trump in New Hampshire. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina are also among the potential candidates for the position.

Trump's statement during a recent Fox News town hall that he already knows who his running mate will be has left many guessing about his decision. However, political analysts suggest that loyalty and support for Trump's agenda will likely be key factors in his selection process. They also note that timing is crucial, as those who wish to be considered as Trump's running mate should campaign and demonstrate their support before the nomination race officially concludes.

As the race for the Republican nomination intensifies, the question of who will join Trump on the ticket remains unanswered. With Trump's influence and a pool of potential candidates, the anticipation continues to grow among GOP supporters eager to learn who will ultimately secure the role of vice president alongside Trump in his bid for the presidency.
