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.

Ben works for me, too.
He came from MSNBC, what did you expect?
Then he could close out the day by eliminating BOTH DOEs. Most useless, high-priced organizations ever. Never produced a single school graduate or a single BTU or a single kWh.
Id that would have turned them off, they wouldn’t have been supporting him since January 2017.
If they were going to force someone on hi, it wouldn’t be Pence. They didn’t like Pence.
Because if his experience working at MSNBC?
my. list:
KY AG-Cameron
Charlie Kirk-TPUSA
Maria Bartaromo
Yes, Reagan was a Democrat once. But by the time he became president, he had 25 years of experience as a conservative activist. I don't know why Freepers love to be deceptive about Reagan.
Still hoping for Vivek Ramaswamy
Sanders would be good as president.
25 years of experience then Reagan granted an amnesty for millions of illegal’s...
Out best leaders had NO political experience, in other words, not experienced in deep state activities in shaking down donors for MONEY.
Winsome Earle-Sears
Absolutely! But someone who also can step into the presidency at a moment's notice. Let's be honest... Trump is no spring chicken himself.
Agreed. Would be must watch TV
“Sanders would be good as president.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>
Your sense of humor is pretty extreme. :)
Current betting odds:
Noem 8/1
Stefanik 10/1
Vivek 11/1
Haley 13/1 (this w/b Reagan/Bush II-moment Trump leaves=MAGA done)
Carlson 13/1
Scott 16/1
Sanders 18/1
Donalds 33/1

Tucker Caleson is the only one who brings anything to the office. When he interviewed trump—the number of views were something like 300 million. that’s the highest number of views in history. That’s what melania is talking about. nobody but carlson would bring people to trump at that scale
Carlson seems like an interesting choice. Kari Lake? Holy cow, that’s bottom of the bucket. Someone who almost was governor, but wasn’t? OK, Carlson is also “only” a TV personality, but someone who’s been learning the ins and outs of Washington.
Vance is understandable as a suggestion, but yeah, the Republicans probably want to hold onto a Senate seat in Ohio?
Sarah Huckabee Sanders?
Noem has some definite up-side, but I’m trying to remember why she’s tarred by some with Deep State matters, not that I necessarily credit them.
