Nikki Haley Considered As Trump's Running Mate By Campaign

U.S. President Trump meets with U.N. Ambassador Haley in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington

According to a report by Axios, former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley is currently being considered as a potential running mate by the Trump campaign for the upcoming presidential election in the United States.

Haley, who served as the U.S. ambassador to the UN from 2017 to 2018, has been a prominent figure within the Republican Party and is seen as a potential candidate to join President Donald Trump on the ticket for the 2020 election.

The news of Haley's potential selection as a running mate comes as the Trump campaign gears up for what is expected to be a closely contested election against Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

If chosen as Trump's running mate, Haley would bring a wealth of political experience to the ticket. Prior to her role at the UN, Haley served as the governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017, becoming the state's first female governor.

Haley's tenure as ambassador to the UN was marked by her strong support for Trump's foreign policy agenda, including his decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal and his administration's stance on Israel.

While Haley has not publicly commented on the reports of her potential selection as Trump's running mate, her name has been floated as a possible candidate for the position in recent months.

As the Trump campaign continues to weigh its options for the vice presidential slot, Haley's inclusion on the shortlist underscores the importance of selecting a candidate who can help bolster support for the president among key voting demographics.
