Editor's P/S:

The article highlights the potential of Nikki Haley joining Trump's team, a possibility that Trump himself has indicated he believes will happen. Haley's previous decision to vote for Trump, despite their past rivalry, and Trump's acknowledgment of her capabilities suggest a potential alliance between the two. However, Haley's lack of a strong endorsement and her emphasis on connecting with her supporters raise questions about the nature and extent of their collaboration.

Trump's hesitation to name his top three choices for vice president leaves the question of his running mate open. He has mentioned several potential candidates, but has not revealed his preferences. The upcoming convention in Milwaukee may provide more clarity on this matter. It will be interesting to see whether Haley, with her strong support base and previous experience as governor and ambassador, will be among the contenders for the position.
