There's been a bunch of names thrown out there like RFK Jr., Nikki Haley, and Kari Lake. But it seems like Trump might not go with any of those big names. Instead, it looks like he's leaning towards South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as his future VP.
Noem, who's been dodging questions about whether she'll run for president in 2024, also mentioned that she would be open to being Donald Trump's VP if he asked her.
From Discern Report:
“I will tell you that, of course, I would consider it,” Mrs. Noem told Fox News’s Sean Hannity. “I think everybody should consider it. Our country is breaking in front of our very eyes today, and everybody should be part of putting it back on its foundation.”
She then affirmed her support for President Trump as the likely nominee, saying that “if President Trump is back in the White House, I would do all I can to help him be successful.”
A RealClearPolitics average of GOP polling shows that the former president is still far ahead of the rest of the Republican field, obtaining about 55.5 percent support. Next is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has 14.5 percent, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, with 7.2 percent.
Several months ago, Mrs. Noem was asked in another interview about whether another candidate could win. “No, I don’t think so. President Trump is in the race and right now I don’t see a path to victory for anybody else with him in the race and the situation as it sits today,” she said.
“But I think people should saddle up—it could be a roller coaster of a presidential race,” she added. “I think it’ll be unprecedented in what we’ll see. There’s a lot of unknowns and the person who may win may not even be in the race yet.”
Trump sure has some solid options for his VP, but Noem would truly be an excellent pick.
She's a really strong candidate and definitely shares Trump's views on the sorry state of our nation.
