As Trump has secured the Republican nomination, more and more Americans are eager to hear who his VP pick will be. And that information has been secret up until now.
And Trump has made a shocking new VP announcement and people can’t believe it.
Politico reports that former president Donald Trump appears to have narrowed down his choices for a running mate in the 2024 presidential contest.
However, some with knowledge of the situation characterized the list as provisional, with names entered in “pencil, not pen.”
Senators Katie Britt (R-AL), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Tim Scott (R-SC), and J.D. Vance (R-OH), along with governors Doug Burgum (R-ND), Kristi Noem (R-SD), and Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR), are among the candidates on the list that are allegedly varied in their backgrounds.
Reps. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), and Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), a former congresswoman, are reportedly also being considered.
Politico reports that Trump’s campaign staff has hired a third-party company to screen possible vice presidential contenders.
“Apprentice”-style, Trump plans to take his time choosing a running partner, according to people close to the situation.
Trump has previously stated that selecting a running mate who “is going to be a good president… in case of emergency” should be the first priority.
According to Donald Trump Jr., who spoke to Politico in 2016, his father looked for a running partner in order to change the public’s opinion of him as a businessman and TV personality rather than a politician.
Trump Jr. now highlights the importance of his father choosing “someone who’s actually going to fight.”
Trump has expressed a similar opinion, calling some of the people on the purported shortlist “fighters.”
Sen. J.D. Vance in particular was called a fighter by Trump during a recent rally, highlighting the need of choosing a formidable and driven candidate to run on his ticket in 2024.
The former president will “choose the best possible person for the job and someone who will fight for America First values,” according to Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung.
While Trump has yet to name his final pick yet, American patriots are encouraged by this list, and they are hopeful that Trump’s VP will be someone who can help Trump turn this country around.
The Left has seen what a terrible VP pick can do, and with Kamala Harris having record-low approval ratings for a VP, Trump is taking no chances this election cycle.
He knows that the American people understand the importance of the office of Vice President just as much as he does, and will therefore be taking his time.
Unlike Joe Biden, Trump is not making his pick based off of diversity or other ridiculous factors.
Instead, he will only pick someone who will further help America become great again.
