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:
...more
Supposed is the correct word as they were in completely different parts of the Country when the supposed “affair” took place...
She has less baggage than Trump, by far...
However, I’d prefer she stayed next door in SD for a while longer.
I like Sanders or Lake...
candace owens.
Ben Carson comes across as sleepy and drunk on TV.
Zero political experience is a HUGE plus in my book
Biden has almost a half century “experience” in DC and all he’s interested in is bigger, eve more suffocating government and less freedom. Just like all career pols.
Government “experience” counts for nothing.
It paid off on day 1 when he took out Gen. Flynn who was going to go after the deep state.
“I look forward to the people Trump will fire on inauguration day”
$$$$$$$$$$$$
Fully agree. This may be the most telling and beneficial.
I’d like to see AT LEAST the top three layers gone from CIA, FBI, DOJ, and ALL US attorneys, as a start - executive order signed right there on the inaugural podium for the world to see as a first act.
Pence was a Trojan Horse all along.
Yes, all they did was throw insults at each other.
I would have also but I think she failed the loyalty test, as in loose lips. It was a year or two ago, MTG, Tucker and someone else were with President Trump. He posted the photo of them having a grand time. A few days later, MTG starts the rumor that she will be the VP. She either did this to test the public, or she exposed their private discussion.
I find Kari has more class and is more restrained. She's a pit bull.
I want Roseanne Barr as Press Secretary.
I think this story is completely fabricated.
There are good names in politics but in lieu of that business or high military rank would suffice. A Fox anchor or media personality or even independent journalist is going to be a harder sell. Lake is ahead in the Senate race anyway so I hope she gains traction and keeps the momentum going in that direction.
There is a vast distance between campaign pondering and the actual choice.
Carson or West....yes. Don’t know your 3rd. choice.
I take your point.
Then who? That’s the question.
Maybe he picks his son? The smart one. 😉
Eric.
Probably has a nice life, and wouldn’t touch it with a Ten Foot Pole.
Hm... so it’s Melania who wants Tucker.
I like Tucker....but!
I’m not sure I trust Melania’s judgement. She admired Mike 0bama. During President Trump’s first term, didn’t she want someone once who turned out to be a total flake? Sadly I don’t recall who it was.
Tucker sure would set dem’s brains to explode with his laugh alone.
Tucker would be great as Press Secretary
Fascinating idea. I like Vivek as "Restructuring Czar". Maybe the two have roles in this.
I like the NC Lt Gov Mark Robinson too.
The people of PA didn’t buy the Dr. Oz endorsement instead they voted for a guy with mental issues. DJT should stay away from Tucker as a vp candidate. Lake, yeah she can fire back at the media because she knows that side of the business but so can DJT. I kind of equate Lake to what Sarah Palin was, with less experience. jmo.
