Trump says it's 'highly unlikely' DeSantis will be in his administration and says there is 'no path' for Nikki Haley to win with just 24 hours until New Hampshire primary

Donald Trump said it’s ‘highly unlikely’ that he would have Ron DeSantis in his administration and that he doesn’t ‘see a path’ for Nikki Haley to the nomination as New Hampshire voters prepare to go to the polls on Tuesday.

The former president sat down with Fox News’ Lawrence Jones to discuss the state of the Republican presidential race. The interviewed aired on Monday, the day Trump will be back in a New York court for E. Jean Carroll’s defamation suit against him. The former president will back in New Hampshire Monday night for a rally.

He said he appreciated Ron DeSantis’ endorsement after the former governor dropped out of the contest on Sunday but said he didn’t see him serving as his running mate or in his administration.

‘Well, it’s probably unlikely but you know, I have to be honest, everything is a possibility, but I think it’s highly unlikely. I have a lot of great people. And I have great people that have been with me right from the beginning,’ he said.

He also blasted Haley, who remains in the race against him.

‘I don’t see a path for her at all,’ he said of her presidential campaign.

And he said he was ‘very upset’ with her for running against him after he made her his ambassador to the U.N.

‘I would say with Nikki I haven’t done anything. I’m very upset with her,’ he said. ‘She worked for me like two and a half years. She was okay. Not great. She was okay. She said to everybody, in fact, when she left, I would never run against the president.’

The former president is leading in the polls of the first-in-the-nation presidential contest by double digits.

A Washington Post/Monmouth University poll found that 52 percent of primary voters are supporting Trump, while 34 percent are backing Haley.

DeSantis dropped out of the race on Sunday night, threw his support to Trump and blasted Haley.

in his video announcement, DeSantis noted: ‘It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance. They watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance and they see Democrats using lawfare to this day to attack him.’

‘Trump is superior to the current incumbent, Joe Biden. That is clear. I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee and I will honor that pledge.’

‘I would say with Nikki I haven’t done anything. I’m very upset with her,’ Donald Trump said of Nikki Haley (above, campaigning in New Hampshire). ‘She worked for me like two and a half years. She was okay. Not great’

‘He has my endorsement because we can’t go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear — a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism — that Nikki Haley represents,’ DeSantis said.

DeSantis’ endorsement of Trump came after he has repeatedly criticized the former president, questioning his age and arguing he’ll inspire Democrats to come out in droves to support Biden.

Trump, for his part, said on Sunday he would retire the nickname ‘Ron DeSanctimonious’ now that the Florida governor endorsed him.

Haley simply said of the race: ‘I want to say to Ron, he ran a great race, he’s been a good governor and we wish him well. Having said that, it’s now one fella and one lady left.’
