报道指出，两人的关系依旧冷淡，但如果特朗普确信黑利能帮助他赢得大选，避免可能的牢狱之灾，并在败选后支付数千万美元的法律费用，那么他可能会选择黑利。    Tamil cinema is set to welcome a fresh on screen pairing as Arjun Das and Anna Ben come together for a new film directed by debutant Harish Durairaj.

目前，特朗普深陷多起诉讼，包括多起民事诉讼和“封口费”案等四起刑事诉讼，其中民事案件会让特朗普大出血，而刑事诉讼案可能会将特朗普送进监狱。

报道称，特朗普正竭力弥补与美国总统拜登在筹款方面的差距，而黑利与那些对特朗普持谨慎态度的捐赠者关系密切。

同时，如果黑利成为特朗普的竞选搭档，将为特朗普吸引一些受过大学教育的共和党人，这些人在黑利3月6日宣布退选后仍投票支持她。

D | 5月8日，在印第安纳州初选中，黑利赢得了超过20%的选票。

与双方竞选团队关系密切的共和党人认为，尽管黑利和特朗普在共和党初选中争斗激烈，而且在一些重大问题上意见分歧，但和解符合双方的共同利益。

“Axios”称，如果黑利一直不支持特朗普，而特朗普又再次败选，那么共和党保守派的大部分人可能会指责她，“这可能会威胁到她未来的总统竞选或在共和党的发展”。

一位与黑利关系密切的人士告诉《华尔街日报》，黑利将于下周参加在南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿举行的一场活动，以感谢大约100名最大的捐助者。但她预计不会讨论自己的政治前途，或鼓励捐助者为其他竞选活动捐款。

该人士表示，黑利目前还没有对特朗普表示认可，自退选后，两人没有再说过话。值得一提的是，黑利当时称自己“不后悔”退出党内初选，并祝贺特朗普在党内初选中获胜，她也并没有宣布支持特朗普，而是援引了英国前首相撒切尔夫人的话称，“特朗普仍需要努力赢得她的支持者”。

据“Axios”报道，一些共和党捐款人已对黑利施加了压力，要求她向前迈出第一步。

然而，由于黑利是共和党鹰派政客，一些与特朗普关系密切的人强烈反对特朗普选择她。

去年12月，福克斯前当家主播卡尔森（Tucker Carlson）对一位保守派评论员说，如果特朗普选择黑利，他“不仅不会投这张票，还会极力主张反对”。

法新社认为，黑利、南卡罗来纳州非洲裔共和党参议员斯科特（Tim Scott）、纽约州共和党众议员斯特凡尼克（Elise Stefanik）、俄亥俄州共和党参议员万斯（JD Vance）、佛罗里达州共和党参议员鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）等人都在特朗普竞选搭档的候选名单上。
