Well lookee here. The Republican battle axe wants to be VP and will go scorched earth BSC if Trump picks Haley for his running mate.

She’s apparently not apeshit enough…

Marjorie Taylor Greene issues ominous warning to Donald Trump
December 13, 2023

Marjorie Taylor Greene warned that "MAGA would revolt" if Nikki Haley were to be included in a future Donald Trump administration, just hours after the former president's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, said she couldn't rule out the ex-South Carolina governor serving as his vice president.

The message on X, formerly Twitter, was shared by fellow House Republican Matt Gaetz, who simply added "correct."

It came after Lara appeared on Eric Bolling's NewsNation show on Tuesday, where she was asked whether Trump would "ever pick Nikki Haley as a VP." Lara replied that "crazier things have happened, I would never say never with Donald J. Trump," sparking an angry response from some right-wingers on social media.

Recent polling shows Haley has been gaining ground on second-placed Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Republican presidential contest, though both remain far behind Trump. The latest analysis by polling aggregate website 538, released on Tuesday, had Trump in the lead with the support of 61.7 percent of likely Republican voters, followed by DeSantis on 12.2 percent, and Haley on 11.3 percent.

Following Lara's NewsNation interview, Greene posted: "MAGA would revolt if Nikki Haley were to even be given an internship in Trump's next administration."
"She represents the neocon establishment America last wing of the Republican Party that we are absolutely done with. Also, she lied and said she would not run against Trump."

MAGA is a term commonly used to describe Trump's grassroots support derived from "Make America Great Again," his campaign slogan during the 2016 presidential election.

Newsweek has contacted Trump's campaign spokesperson for comment by email.

Haley's recent polling surge, and prominent performance in the last two GOP presidential debates, have seen her adopted as the anti-Trump candidate by some Republican donors.

Speaking to Newsweek, Republican strategist Matt Klink said Haley could emerge as Trump's main challenger for the 2024 GOP nomination if she performs well in the early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

"If she finished second in each, she can make the case that other GOP presidential aspirants should drop out early so she can go head-to-head with Donald Trump," he said.

Eric Levine, a Republican donor who formerly backed Senator Tim Scott's presidential campaign, told The New York Times that Haley's surge had convinced him Trump can be beaten for the 2024 Republican nomination.
He said: "There were people that don't like Trump at all, but were very skeptical that he could be stopped. They now believe he can be stopped. His aura of invincibility is just peeled away completely."

Haley has angered some of Trump's grassroots support due to her outspoken support for continued U.S. military aid for Ukraine, and her vocal condemnation of the January 6 2021 riot, which saw hundreds storm Congress in a bid to block the certification of Joe Biden's election victory.

Speaking about the reaction of Trump to the unrest during a CNN town hall in June, Haley said: "He thinks it was a beautiful day; I think it was a terrible day. I'll always stand by that."
