Haley suggested that her rival for the GOP presidential nomination could be a possible running mate.

This comes as the onetime South Carolina governor overtakes DeSantis for second place in some polling of the GOP race, behind former President Donald Trump. DeSantis has also appeared to lose the loyalty of some GOP politicians, while many Republican lawmakers have renewed their support for Trump.
