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.

1. Isn't newsweek pro GQP?.........................

5. When they want to be

Oddly, they have been less so when compared to shill sites like CNN.

[Marthe48]

2. Lay down with rapists get up covered in slime

I hope plenty of people won't accept a criminal degenerate. Althought I'm not seeing any of the traitor signs removed.

[tanyev]

3. Yeah, decide carefully. Donny's well known for that.

[FakeNoose]

4. Chump is losing voters in droves every time he opens his mouth

Every time he posts his ridiculous insulting Xweets. He's just a loser all around.
In a short time he's going to be a loser and A CONVICTED FELON.

6. If President Biden can get a portion of these Haley voters, then President Biden should win

10. Haley got over 21% here in Indiana. A red state.

Those numbers might have been higher if their primaries had been held later.

[Traurigkeit]

21. Just needs those Repiblicans to _NOT VOTE_ for the TSF. President Biden will do well

[Aristus]

7. Well shit, fucknozzles! You guys are the ones who lined up to lick his feculent ass.

It's a little too late to complain that you've been had.

Every American with a functioning brain has been saying since around 2008 that Trump is bad news politically.

Hope you rich dickwads are enjoying your tax cut...

[niyad]

11. Please tell us how you really feel. It is very bad for your health to hold

your feelings in like that.

[Aristus]

13. Yeah, I'm a sweetheart.

I need to learn how to tell it like it is.

[niyad]

15. You are so kind, so gentle. . .

[Aristus]

19. Ma'am...

[Tetrachloride]

8. I don't know if Magats know what fret is, as compared to GOP operatives

I submit the headline is in error to some degree.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. Puppy Murder Lady scares even the GQP, because she slipped and told the truth on abortion...

[KS Toronado]

12. My choice

[WestMichRad]

14. So they shat in their own bed

.. and now they don’t want to sleep in it.
Waaaaaaah!

[Bobstandard]

16. That settles it: Haley for VP

Trump solves his Haley problem and his women problem by selecting her as his VP. Haley and Trump are both so venal that they’ll agree to it. There is nothing either has said that will figure into the decision. They both only care about themselves, power and money.

[ancianita]

17. And because they're admitting it now, they can't claim a stolen election later. When they do anyway, we just

remind them of what they'd already said. Any party and their leader that want everything both ways seriously needs to resign, return to law school, and grow up.

Women already heard what Haley said about abortion, so she won't win them the women's vote, which is likely the biggest demographic loss they'll have.

18. What's the expression? "You reap what you sow"? n/t

[multigraincracker]

20. The Multigrain prediction for VP is...

Sarah Palin.

Get to Vegas and bet $2.

22. Pick Kristi! Pick Kristi! She's a perfect match!

A perfect psychopath! Guaranteed to make the pukes stay home !

[Novara]

23. You fuckers have to carry this to term.

You propped the motherfucker up. You built this. You have no one to blame but yourselves.
