Key Notes
He treats a Nikki Haley vice-presidential selection as a strong sign that Trump will go to war with Iran.
He predicts Trump could manipulate his anti-war base back to him by blaming Nikki Haley, the deep state, or Israel for the Iran war.
He predicts that in a second Trump term, war with Iran would become a major priority, citing the Iran nuclear deal withdrawal, the Jerusalem embassy move, tolerance of MBS after Khashoggi's killing, the Abraham Accords, and the Soleimani assassination as evidence.
Jiang predicts that Trump will win the November 2024 election and pick Nikki Haley as his vice president.
Jiang argues that Trump can win the suburbs in 2024 by copying Biden's VP-redemption narrative with Nikki Haley.
Jiang says Nikki Haley resembles Kamala Harris in the relevant electoral frame because she is South Asian, from an immigrant family, accomplished, and acceptable to suburban voters.
Jiang says Haley's strongest 2024 primary constituency was college-educated suburban women, making her strategically useful to Trump.
