[Washington Kyodo] Former United Nations Ambassador Haley, who is vying for the Republican nomination for the 2024 US presidential election, asked at a rally on the 28th whether she would decline the vice presidential position if former President Trump were to contest the general election. When asked by a participant, she declined to make a clear statement. Ms. Haley only stated, ``I will not compete for second place.'' There is likely to be widespread speculation that he is fixated on the vice presidential post.
Ms. Haley, who served as U.N. ambassador during the Trump administration, said that she and Mr. Trump "worked together." The question is how he will take on Trump, who currently leads the party in terms of approval ratings.
Ms. Haley did not say whether she would withdraw, emphasizing, ``If we become obsessed with anti-Trump sentiment, we will not be able to move the United States forward.''

With less than a year to go before the next presidential election on November 5, 2024, candidates are already jostling for their party’s nomination.
The Democrat and Republican primaries begin in January, with the Republican caucus in Iowa on January 15.
There, voters will decide whether to support Donald Trump – by far the party’s frontrunner – or choose an alternative in Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, or a smattering of other candidates.
The beginning of the primary process is important because it sets the tone for the rest of the election, and indicates which campaigns have the most momentum and support for voters.
After Iowa, Republicans will vote in New Hampshire and South Carolina, followed by a series of other states and more than a dozen on “Super Tuesday”, on March 5.
Mr Trump has a significant poll lead of more than 25 points over Mr DeSantis, who is in second place.
Despite concerns about his age, Joe Biden remains the most likely Democratic nominee, with no serious challengers to his candidacy for 2024.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (Reuters) - As the Iowa caucuses, the first round of Republican candidates for the November U.S. presidential election, are scheduled to be held next week on the 15th, support for former President Trump stands at 49%, leaving other candidates behind. They are pulling away and maintaining an overwhelming lead. This was revealed in a survey published by Reuters/Ipsos on the 10th.
The survey was conducted between March 3 and 9 and surveyed 1,941 people who identified themselves as Republicans. Former United Nations Ambassador Haley came in second with 12% support, followed by Florida Governor DeSantis with 11% support.
Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy received 4% support, while other candidates received less than 2% support. Approximately 18% of respondents said they did not know who they would support.
Despite a series of lawsuits, support for Mr. Trump has not wavered, and since August last year he has been supported by about half of Republican voters.
