Haley Denies “False Rumors” About Replacing Pence

August 21, 2019 2020 Elections, Trump Administration

Nikki Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to United Nations, on Wednesday denied what she called “false rumors” that she could replace Mike Pence as the Republican Party’s vice presidential nominee in 2020.

“Enough of the false rumors,” Haley said, tweeting a photo of her and Pence together at the U.N. “Vice President Pence has been a dear friend of mine for years. He has been a loyal and trustworthy VP to the President. He has my complete support.”

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused Haley to speak out, though the idea of President Trump replacing Pence with Haley has been floated in the media before.
