Lara sat down with Newsmax host Eric Bolling on Monday to discuss who ex-President Trump might name as his second-in-command next year.
According to Lara, Haley “needs to be careful” in her home state of South Carolina during the South Carolina GOP primary in February.
“I think Nikki Haley has to be a little careful in South Carolina,” she told Bolling. “That’s her home state.”
“Probably Donald Trump is going to win in South Carolina and Nikki Haley’s going to come in second,” Eric Trump’s 41-year-old wife added.
But Lara also said, “Never say never,” regarding whether Trump will pick Haley as his vice president because “crazier things have happened.”
"Crazier things have happened," Lara said of a possible Trump-Haley ticket next year.
“Crazier things have happened. I don’t know. I would never say never with Donald J. Trump. Never say never,” she responded when pressed by Bolling on Monday.
As RadarOnline.com reported, other sources suggested that Trump was eyeing several possible vice president candidates to run alongside him on the 2024 ticket next year.
While Lara acknowledged the rumors regarding a possible Trump-Tucker Carlson ticket, as well as a potential Trump-Vivek Ramaswamy ticket, she kept her lips tight regarding the matter – although she did rule out a potential Trump-Chris Christie 2024 ticket.
“There’s a lot of talk about a lot of people,” Lara said. “There’s Trump-Tucker Carlson talk, there’s obviously Trump-Vivek talk.”
Other sources suggested that Trump was eyeing several possible vice president candidates to run alongside him on the 2024 ticket next year.
“I thought you were going to say Trump-Chris Christie talk, which you’d have a better chance of Joe Biden running with Donald Trump than Chris Christie at this point,” she quipped.
