Amid rumours that Donald Trump may be eyeing Nikki Haley as his vice president, Trump loyalists are warning the former president not to go down that route because it could cause a “big fight” within the Republican Party.

“One of the fights we’re going to have, a big fight, will take place in the spring will be – they’re going to try to force Nikki on the ticket,” former White House strategist Steve Bannon said on far-right political activist Jack Posobiec’s podcast Human Events.

Bannon predicted that people may recommend Ms Haley for Mr Trump’s ticket because she “balances things” and “can bring together that 15 per cent of never-Trumpers” to support the former president’s campaign.

In recent weeks, Ms Haley’s campaign has picked up more support and narrowed Mr Trump’s lead over her. Polling from CBS News/YouGov showed that voters viewed the former UN ambassador as more likable and reasonable than the former president.

The momentum in the 2024 presidential campaigns has led the two Republican candidates to launch attacks on one another, despite having previously worked together in Mr Trump’s administration. But people close to the former president say Mr Trump has suggested Ms Haley could be an asset as a vice president.
