Nikki Haley rejected the idea of running for president on the No Labels third-party ticket as the Republican nomination moves further out of reach with every GOP primary loss.
During a roundtable with journalists ahead of a rally in Washington, D.C., Friday, Haley denied she'd ever talked with No Labels about a possible candidacy and dismissed the group's efforts to reach out as "smoke signals."
"All the talk about the independent No Labels, all that — I haven't talked to anybody about that," Haley told reporters. "I know that they have sent smoke signals, but I'm a Republican."
