continuing to chip away at his primary victory margins despite dropping out of the race two months ago, some Republicans are sounding the alarm for Trump to give more consideration to a vice presidential pick who can help close the gap with irritated supporters of the ex-South Carolina governor.
“The population we need to be going after is this 17% of people that are not voting for President Trump in a primary even though Nikki Haley is not even in the primary,” Marshall said. “There’s a group of Republicans out there that will play the long game. They want to know who’s going to be the president after President Trump.”
House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik and Sens. J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio — all names on Trump’s vice presidential short list — downplayed the notion that his running mate will have a significant impact. Vance characterized votes for Haley as “protest ballots” from those who were never going to support Trump in a primary and put little stock in the value of recent election results.
