Although President Trump has already confirmed that Vice President Mike Pence will be on the ticket for the 2020 Trump-Pence re-election campaign, Haley tweeted out a strange message regarding ‘rumors’ that people think she should be the VP. The apparent message from The White House, ‘what rumors and why are you commenting?’
According to The Washington Examiner:
Nikki Haley insists she wants to squash rumors that she is being considered as a replacement for Vice President Mike Pence.
Nikki Haley tweeted out on the 21st of this month:
“Enough of the false rumors. Vice President Pence has been a dear friend of mine for years. He has been a loyal and trustworthy VP to the President. He has my complete support.”

Another article later on the 21st, also by The Washington Examiner speculates that The White House isn’t buying that the rumors she’s alluding to are even valid, and questions her motives in even putting the message out there. Much speculation about Haley’s self-promotion has been in the air lately, as she recently ran a plethora of ads on Facebook pumping herself up for no apparent reason.
Also from The Washington Examiner:
“The only person talking about Nikki Haley as VP is Nikki Haley herself,” is how one senior administration official put it with thinly veiled irritation.
This comes not long after former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci was found to be meeting with Nikki Haley after trashing and disowning President Trump. To make matter worse, Scaramucci is now hanging out with Bill Clinton, a very clear message that he is no longer on Trump’s level in any way.
Breitbart reports here that Anthony Scaramucci recently attended a birthday party for former President Bill Clinton, husband of Hillary Clinton who ran against Donald Trump for president in 2016. Scaramucci was quoted on the event in the Breitbart article that:
“Democrats have more fun!”
A recent comment from President Trump on Scaramucci’s disloyalty as reported by Breitbart:
President Trump has hit back at Scaramucci’s repeated criticism, blasting him as “nervous, neurotic, wreck.”
