Is he going to pick Haley for VP?

I'm predicting there will be a surprise and it will be Haley. It would be a smart move and she is the one person I am weary of.

What are your predictions?

If I were their strategist, I would pick someone who appeals to the middle.

The nation is in a collective shock and I put nothing past them at this point.

I was wrong. I thought he’d want to surprise everyone.

Trump would presumably receive a boost from women voters and by reclaiming many Haley voters.

whereas Haley has a base and, more importantly, is someone Trump can control

Then I'll firmly believe that they plan another coup.

If he picks Haley, it makes it look like they're actually trying to win. That will cast doubt on Project 2025 and sway some of the independents.

Just my uneducated guess

Plus. He is not going to pick a woman.
He is not going to pick even a slightly brown person.
