Lets stop the speculation: Trump is not dropping Pence for Nikki Haley or anyone else...

The theory appears to be that Biden's selection of Harris would cause Trump to pick a woman to attract female voters. The point is that Trump ONLY cares about his base votes, which is not where he's losing women voters from. He's sticking with his base, which includes his evangelical bible thumpers who love Pence.

“Trump is not going to run for President”.

The man is literally insane, so one cannot exclude any action if Trump thinks it will help him win.

He's known Joe was picking a female for some time now.

If he replaced Pence with a woman - or anyone. I think that some evangelicals, when they're all alone in the dark, are honest with themselves and only support the whole God-chose-Trump BS in hopes that health statistics will catch up with Trump, pushing Pence into the presidency. He would continue to push what Trump did but also be sincere about his beliefs and have no sex scandals for them to worry about.

(Republicans) Guys looking into hole: we think you’ve dug deep enough. Better get out of the hole now before you get stuck.

(Trump team) Guys in hole digging: it’s fine. We will keep going because we think we will find daylight soon.

(Republicans) Guys looking into hole: ok, we’re all fucked.

gain. His base is 98% + 'the man is king' types, the women MAGAts included, when you are talking about the top office in the nation.

Plus, Haley is Punjabi Indian. Trump and his base are white nationalists.
