Nikki be gone, gone, gone now in regard to vp pick anyway.
In fact things have even gotten a little worse this week when Nikki released her votes to Trump but then when Trump was asked why Nikki has not been invited to or at least invited to speak at the Convention (as Desantis will) he said "I will think about it but she held on too long."
As I have said before, the other candidates are maga so the way you are supposed to play the game is to give it your best shot and then return to the maga family as soon as you know that it is not going to work. Nikki was working dem votes and independents and trying to develop a faction that was not real maga. Trump did not like it. As overdiscussed, loyalty is numero uno for him. always, always, always. He might change his mind if he finds her useful at the convention. And then kick her to the curb. A good part of him does not want her there though- sucking up a portion of the spotlight he has reserved for his loyalists. The only way she could have redeemed herself is if she went and sat in on some of his court cases as a show of support but she thinks she is above that.
