Despite past conflicts and differences of opinion, the campaign headquarters of the former President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, is considering the possibility of including Nikki Haley, the former US ambassador to the United Nations, in its composition for the position of vice president. This is reported by Axios, citing sources close to the headquarters.
"Relations between the Republican Party rivals remain cool, but Trump could choose Haley if he were convinced that she would help him win the presidential election, avoid a potential prison sentence and cover tens of millions in legal bills if he loses," the newspaper writes.
Republicans close to both leaders believe a reconciliation between Haley and Trump is in their mutual interests, despite their fierce battle in the GOP primaries and their differing views on some important issues.
They have different views on issues such as war and changing programs such as Social Security and Medicare. Haley has pushed to direct more resources to Ukraine and allow it to become part of NATO, Trump opposes it.
Haley has "deep ties to donors" who are wary of the former president, the report said. Meanwhile, if she continues to withdraw her support and Trump loses in November, much of the GOP's conservative base could blame her.
Representatives for Trump and Haley declined to comment.
