A notable development in the political landscape is Nikki Haley's statement considering DeSantis as a potential running mate, amid reports of discussions among donors about a joint ticket to challenge Donald Trump. DeSantis himself has taken a direct approach against Trump, urging Republicans to avoid nominating someone who might be convicted before the election.
