Nikki Haley's Death Wish

A couple of days back, 2024 GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley predicted that President Biden will be dead within five years during an interview with Fox News:

He announced that he’s running again in 2024, and I think that we can all be very clear and say with a matter of fact that if you vote for Joe Biden you really are counting on a President Harris, because the idea that he would make it until 86 years old is not something that I think is likely.

Just as when folks like Julian Castro did himself no favors when he went after Biden for his age during the 2020 Democratic presidential debates, Haley isn't helping herself either. She comes across as crude. But crudity is the language of the Republican Party. Yet when it comes to crudity, Haley doesn't hold a candle to Donald Trump and she knows it. Haley has no chance of being the GOP nominee, but she sees herself as Trump's running mate.

Should America be crazy and foolish enough to return Trump to the White House, he would be 82-years old at the end of his second term. Does Haley also believe Trump will die within the next five years? It is worth asking because the only way Nikki Haley will ever become President of the United States is if Trump picks her as his running mate and dies while in office.

Frankly, I doubt Trump would pick Haley as his running mate. Given her vacillation towards the defeated former President, he does not view her as sufficiently loyal. Trump is far more likely to choose someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene to be his number two. In which case, if it's a choice between Kamala Harris and Marjorie Taylor Greene then Harris looks awfully good. 

With all that said, I think Biden will be re-elected next year (and if Congress doesn't thwart the certification of the election) will serve a second full term.
