Donald Trump appeared to close the door on Nikki Haley as a potential vice president. Trump's remark came after an earlier report that Haley was in the mix for VP. AdvertisementFormer President Donald Trump on Saturday threw cold water on any speculation that he was considering ex-presidential rival Nikki Haley as his running mate, saying she was "not under consideration." Just hours after the article was published, Trump went online to set the record straight on his vice presidential search. AdvertisementWhen Haley left the race, she did not throw her support behind Trump's reelection bid and gave no timeline for a potential endorsement.

As he emerges victorious from the Republican primary race, Trump faces considerable challenges both inside and outside the political arena. Wednesday’s inauspicious start to Trump’s outreach efforts is reflective of the longstanding concerns about his temperament and style that inspired many Republicans to support Haley, Florida Gov. In cruising to his party’s nomination, Trump left little doubt that he remains the dominant figure in the GOP. From Iowa and New Hampshire through Super Tuesday, Haley especially exposed persistent divisions in the party and headwinds for Trump recapturing moderate support. Meanwhile, nearly three in 10 of all primary voters said Trump wouldn’t be fit for the presidency if he is convicted of a crime.

That Reagan wing, which stands in contrast to the isolationist foreign policy and protectionist economics that define Trump's brand of populism, "isn't going away," the fundraiser said.

W. James Antle III Courtesy W. James Antle IIIHaley had steadfastly maintained that she wouldn’t budge if South Carolina Republicans opted for Trump over her.
