CONCORD, N.H. \u2013 <\/span>Former President Donald Trump told supporters in the closing days ahead of the New Hampshire primary that he likely will not choose 2024 Republican nomination rival Nikki Haley as his running mate.<\/p>\n

\u2018She is not presidential timber,\u2019 Trump said of Haley as he spoke at a Friday night rally in New Hampshire\u2019s capital city. \u2018Now, when I say that, that probably means that she\u2019s not going to be chosen as the vice president.\u2019<\/p>\n

At the same rally, the former president landed the endorsement of Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who ended his own White House bid in November.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s time for us to unite our party so that we make sure that the only target we\u2019re talking about is firing [President] Biden. Our country can\u2019t take four more years. I\u2019m not sure we could take ten more months,\u2019 Scott argued in a Fox News interview following the Trump rally. \u2018The best way for us to get rid of Joe Biden as our president is to unite our party now behind Donald Trump.\u2019<\/p>\n

Although his presidential campaign failed to ignite, Scott remains very popular with Republican primary voters, and his endorsement had been heavily coveted by the remaining GOP candidates.<\/p>\n

Scott downplayed running-mate talk as he dropped out of the race two months ago.<\/p>\n

But a source in the senator\u2019s political orbit told Fox News on Saturday that Scott hasn\u2019t ruled out serving as Trump\u2019s vice presidential nominee, if Trump locks up the nomination in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n

\u2018I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Scott remains in the conversation for running mate,\u2019 the source added.<\/p>\n

With Trump crushing the competition in Monday\u2019s Iowa caucuses \u2014 an important first step for the former president in his bid for the GOP nomination \u2014 buzz over whom he\u2019d name as his running mate is increasing.<\/p>\n

Besides Scott, speculation is also swirling around GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, the fourth-ranking House Republican and a fierce Trump supporter and ally on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

Stefanik spoke at Friday night\u2019s rally and made multiple campaign stops on behalf of Trump on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u2018I would be proud to serve in a Trump administration in any capacity,\u2019 she told Fox News.<\/p>\n

There was also running mate buzz on Friday surrounding Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, who campaigned on behalf of Trump in Kingston, New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

\u2018The best place for me is to actually be an advocate of the agenda in the United States Senate,\u2019 Vance told reporters regarding the potential to serve as running mate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But he added, \u2018Certainly, if the president asked, I would have to think about it, because I want to help him.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

The running mate spotlight is also shining on a couple of other GOP politicians who have campaigned with or on behalf of Trump in recent weeks. The list includes South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, who remains neutral in the GOP nomination race, is also seen as a potential running mate.<\/p>\n

Trump dropped a provocative bomb earlier this month when he said during a Fox News town hall in Des Moines, Iowa, \u2018I know who it\u2019s going to be.\u2019<\/p>\n

But despite that bombshell, few in his political orbit have a good feel for whom Trump is leaning toward as his running mate.<\/p>\n

Veteran Republican strategist Ryan Williams noted that \u2018Trump prizes loyalty and fealty above everything else when it comes to his supporters.\u2019<\/p>\n

And Williams said that timing is crucial, noting that \u2018if you want to be considered for the VP slot, now is a good time to come out and campaign and support him before the nomination race is officially settled.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
