Donalds, 44, told Breitbart News he would “of course” be open to the job if Trump were to offer it.
“If it came up? Oh yeah, of course, because you have the opportunity to do really powerful things for the country and really help shape the country,” Donalds said. “But I’m a member of Congress. I just do my job. I let everybody else speculate on the other stuff.”
Having gone from being raised by a single mother in Brooklyn’s inner city to becoming one of five black Republicans in Congress, Donalds is widely viewed as a rising star among his party.
The Florida Republican has a deep background in finance and banking that has landed him a spot on the Financial Services Committee, and he has joined in on congressional Republicans’ most high-profile probe, that of the Biden family’s business dealings, by way of the Oversight Committee.
In May, Donalds appeared on a CNN panel after Trump’s heated town hall with the outlet, delivering what appeared to be his party’s de facto response to the ordeal. Donalds said moderator Kaitlan Collins spent “more time interjecting her own viewpoints” during the event. Upon being interrupted, Donalds fired back, “Are you guys now going to interject your opinions on me or do I get a chance?”
Later that month Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) wrote on social media, “Retweet this if you think my friend [Byron Donalds] would make a great choice for Vice President.”

I’m a political junkie and I’ve never heard of him. Why would Trump choose him as his VP?!
Would be a great pick. Also, that Congressman from Texas.
2 Floridians - i don’t think so
Into this;
He’s a member of the freedom caucus and has a conservative record. Those credentials put him on a short list of people Trump would consider.
Who is moving? Because them both being from FL would be problematic.
Trump would relocate his legal residence if he chose someone from Florida .
Donalds is a rising star, he is very sharp, fantastic communicator who is very quick on his feet with a calm demeanor, and he is pure MAGA from what I can tell.

He might pick him because no one else would want the job.
He’s an unaccomplished black guy that has been arrested for selling drugs and committing bank fraud.
The ultimate Republican DEI hire.
What, aside from multiple arrests, makes him deserving?
AA pandering.
But not happening.
Watch him in committee hearings and TV interviews
Very impressive young man and takes no schiff from the liberals
It can be done.
Donalds was 19 when arrested for marijuana possession and 20 when he got caught up in a non prosecuted bank fraud for which the record was expunged. Since then he has had a stellar career, blemish free, but we certainly can’t ever give a ghetto dude a second chance, can we? /s.
Donald Trump clearly has the Republican vote. He must now work on securing the Independent vote. Everything he says, everything he does should happen with that in mind.
Your view appears to be outnumbered on this thread.
But this touches on a larger issue about running mates in general. No matter who Trump picks as a running mate, someone on Free Republic is going to be unhappy with his choice.
I don’t want the country shaped.
I want the government’s boot off our necks.
Donalds isn’t offering to do THAT though, is he...
Next!
Enjoy pandering to blacks. Let me know how being a cuck works for you.
I have no white guilt.
