Nikki Haley says being vice president is “off the table.”

The declaration, delivered to a pair of diners at MaryAnn’s in Amherst and overheard by a POLITICO reporter on Friday, was one of Haley’s most pointed remarks yet about her disinterest in the vice presidency. …

“I’ve said from the very beginning: I don’t play for second. I don’t want to be anybody’s vice president. That is off the table,” Haley said, in a slightly irritated tone.

[I’m not convinced. Haley’s been sparing in her criticism of Trump, choosing instead to amplify Trump’s attacks on DeSantis in particular and the other challengers more generally. DeSantis has a meaningful job to which he will return. Haley doesn’t, and she may not have many other options after this campaign. — Ed]
