A number of Republican figures are voicing concerns about Donald Trump still losing votes to Nikki Haley, and that this is increasing the need for the former president to choose the correct 2024 running mate.
GOP figures said that Trump must decide on the next potential vice president carefully if he hopes to win back the significant support the former South Carolina governor is getting in the primaries despite dropping out of the race two months ago.
On Tuesday, Haley managed to gain 21.7 percent of the vote, amounting to more than 128,000 votes, in the Indiana primary. It is the latest sign Trump is still struggling to win over Republican voters beyond his MAGA base. The results in Indiana followed on from Haley achieving more than 155,000 votes (16.5 percent) in the GOP primary in the key swing state of Pennsylvania on April 23, even though she dropped out of the race in March.
The concerns also arrive as South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem appears to have severely damaged her chances of being named Trump's next running. She received major backlash for revealing in her book No Going Back: The Truth on What's Wrong With Politics and How We Move America Forward how she shot and killed her 14-month-old farm dog because of its aggressive behavior 20 years ago.
