“If I were to do No Labels, that would require a Democratic vice president. I can’t do what I want to do as president with a Democratic vice president,” Haley said. “I want to shrink the size of government and get it efficient again. I want to make sure that we get our kids reading again by putting more of those federal funds pushing it down to the state level — from education to health care to welfare and mental health, I want to take all of that out of D.C. and send it to the states. I can’t do that with a Democratic vice president. I want to make sure we do peace through strength, I don’t know if our foreign policies would agree.”

Haley later elaborated, “I’ve always believed that if you’re going to do something, do it right, or don’t do it. And I don’t think I could do it right if — if I ran for No Labels, that would mean it’s about me.”
