Haley is perceived by many Goppers as being some kinda rising superstar in the party. I seriously doubt she would hitch her rising wagon to a sinking ship. The odds of Biden winning are probably better than 50-50 and it has the potential to be a Dem blowout. If she were to be the VP on a losing ticket that would hurt her odds for a bid in 2024.
I'm pretty sure that nobody who was ever a VP candidate on a ticket that has previously lost then went on to win the presidency on their own. Most VPs don't even manage to ascend to the top after the POTUS leaves office...

I'm thinking now that if she were asked she would decline. If she thought he had a much better chance she would probably jump at the offer but that ain't the case by a long shot. Not much love lost between her and the Fuhrer anyway...she may be a semi-suckup but she ain't stupid.
Anyway, amigo...I'll bet you a cyberbeer she ain't on the ticket. If you agree don't forget we'll have witnesses!
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
