Donald Trump took to social media Saturday to deny claims he was considering his former ambassdor to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, as his running mate for the 2024 election.

The former president declared on Truth Social that Haley was not a contender to be his vice president, contradicting a scoop she was under “active consideration” by Axios, who has since revised their article.

The earlier version of Axios’s article claimed sources told them the Trump campaign could reach out to Haley in an effort to bridge a campaign funding gap between Trump and Biden, as well as help him with any legal and financial problems linked to his ongoing court cases.

The idea of Haley as a vice presidential pick has largely been dismissed with disdain among Trump’s base of supporters since she dropped out of the race. Even Donald Trump Jr. told Newsmax he would, “go to great lengths,” to ensure she wasn’t the running mate, according to Politico.

Though she worked closely with Trump when she was his ambassador to the United Nations, Haley shifted her 2024 presidential campaign strategy by repeatedly bashing him and his record in the primaries. However, with Trump thought to potentially favor a female running mate, there was speculation he might reach out to Haley after South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s popularity plummeted when she revealed she once shot her pet dog. (RELATED: HART: Kristi Noem Shoots Her Dog — And Herself In Foot)

Haley suspended her campaign March 6, 2024, having polled below Donald Trump throughout the Republican presidential primaries, according to RealClearPolitics. Haley emerged victorious solely in the District of Columbia, even losing to “none of these candidates” in Nevada’s symbolic Republican presidential primary in February.

Trump has given few indications on who his real vice presidential pick will be, though he has implied he has made his decision. Likely candidates include Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and even former Democrat Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, according to Spectrum News NY1.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
