Former President Donald Trump has reportedly ruled out offering top jobs to two of his former top officials, Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo. Both Haley and Pompeo were key figures in the Trump administration, with Haley serving as the US ambassador to the United Nations and Pompeo as the Secretary of State.
While Trump has not publicly commented on his reasons for not considering Haley and Pompeo for top positions in his administration, reports suggest that there may be a rift between the former president and his former officials. Some sources have claimed that Trump was unhappy with Haley’s criticism of his handling of the Capitol riot on January 6, while others have suggested that Pompeo’s ambitions for a presidential run in 2024 may have played a role in Trump’s decision.
Haley and Pompeo were considered to be potential candidates for top positions in a future Trump administration, should he decide to run for president again in 2024. However, with Trump now ruling out their consideration, it remains unclear who he may choose to fill these important roles.
The news of Trump’s decision has come as a surprise to many, as both Haley and Pompeo were seen as loyal allies of the former president during his time in office. Haley, in particular, was known for her strong support of Trump’s policies and was often seen as a potential successor to Trump in the Republican Party.
Pompeo, on the other hand, was known for his tough stance on foreign policy issues and was seen as a key player in Trump’s administration. However, his ambitions for a presidential run in 2024 may have caused tension between him and Trump, leading to his exclusion from consideration for a top job in the future Trump administration.
While Trump’s decision may have disappointed Haley and Pompeo, it has also raised questions about the direction of his future administration and who he may choose to surround himself with. With the 2024 presidential election still a few years away, it remains to be seen who Trump will ultimately choose to fill these important roles and how his decision will impact his chances of winning back the White House.
