As President Trump continues to dominate the 2024 GOP presidential primaries, attention has turned to who he will pick as his running mate. Now, we have a list of names Trump and his team are reportedly considering, but a potential wild card lurks.
On Thursday, Axios published an extensive piece detailing the potential makeup of a Trump Cabinet in a second term. The 45th President and his team’s primary focus is ensuring all positions in government will be filled with people loyal to the America-first agenda and Trump.
As Gateway Pundit readers know, Trump’s first term was marred by disloyal RINOs and globalists seeking to sabotage him at every turn. John Bolton, Mark Esper, and William Barr were some of the most notorious figures.
Axios also reveals that Trump openly speaks to his friends about several possibilities for running mate. The key consideration outlined by Trump and his closest confidants is agreeing that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen and former Vice-President Mike Pence betrayed the country by allowing the election’s certification.
According to Axios, here are the four individuals under the most serious discussion by Trump and most trusted advisers:
** Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) – Axios notes he might prefer to remain in the U.S. Senate.
** Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who served as the White House Press Secretary from 2017 to 2019.
** Former TV anchor and current 2024 Arizona GOP Senate Candidate Kari Lake
** South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem
The outlet also notes Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) desires the running mate position.
Trump and his team have also mentioned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
But in an interesting twist, former First Lady Melania Trump is pushing for her husband to select former Fox News host and X/Twitter star Tucker Carlson. Moreover, she would reportedly be willing to campaign cross-country for the ticket.
From Axios:

I think you mean Allen West, not batman :)
candace owens endorsed nikki mcrombush.
MTG would be insurance against an assassination attempt.
The MSM also would not resist being brutal to her, like Sarah Palin times 10, only they would still have to attack Trump, causing the circuits to overheat.
Trump has recently said that he would consider having a woman for VP, whether or not he follows through on this. The official VP pick should be somebody who can help Trump get more votes. I don’t like most of the choices mentioned in this article, because they are, either, already in political office, or they are running for future political office. Also, VP isn’t the best job to be in, no matter who it is. I wish that it would be, either, Lee Zeldin of New York, as a male possibility, or Harmeet Dhillon of California, as a female possibility. Either choice would be good, IMHO, and either one can help Trump get more support and get more votes for him. Name recognition isn’t everything, IMHO.
Of the choices I’d have to go with Kari Lake.
Dr. Ben Carson , please.
He is almost going to be forced into that position running against Biden/Harris and Kennedy likely going with Tulsi Gabbard.
I don’t care if he chooses her. I do care if he’s forced into a VP pick. That’s why it’s important that Trump gets huge numbers, turnout and margin. If he’s forced I’ll blame Desanctimonius.
Yeah someone pointed that out. Name was too close that I read it as what I thought it said without paying much attention that he used the name of the Batman character on TV. 🤣
None of the above. I suggest North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson
Most of America thinks West is a nutter. Most of America thinks Lake is a nutter. Most of America thinks MGD is a nutter. Back to the drawing board
Good luck with any of those.
“There are good names in politics”
I’d put (at best) 10% of people in Congress in that bucket.
I agree. Any evidence of past equivocating, weasel wording, etc. in the defense of Trump that exists needs to be completely vetted. People like Vance or Donalds who already IN Congress need to stay there. The only two I know of now who appear to be loyal are Lake and Huckabee on the list.
Youngkin Carson Donald tucker desantis all good choices
That might entice some rats to cross the aisle. They love them some adulterers.
TC is not loyal to anyone and he’s a major slime ball.
I’ll take either one of them as VP LOL
I’m good with any of them but slightly prefer Byron Donalds (R-FL). Pulls in Florida. He’s solid.
Slightly hope it’s not Vance. He’s solid but we need someone like him in the Senate.
So, McDaniel?
