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.”

Good luck cuck. He has zero accomplishments, he’s just black.
But you’re partially right, “this” isn’t my party or people.
My thinking is that if somehow Trump would be able to survive the election process and if somehow the DS screwed up so badly in their election fraud that Trump won, we would need someone as the VP who the deep state is even more afraid of than Trump.
They wouldn’t kill Trump with Flynn waiting in the wings.
Of course, I don’t think either of the two caveats will happen. They will likely either prevent him from winning the Republican nomination through lawfare or assassination. If he somehow makes it to the election, they will definitely be able to steal it from him again.
President Trump doesn’t agree with you. He has always been colorblind.
Picking someone because they’re black is racist.
It’s racist against every better qualified white man.
Donalds has no accomplishments.
I did concede to a poster earlier that I don’t belong anymore.
West Point grad, veteran, conservative, articulate, and fearless.
I like Donalds too, and Burgess Owens from Utah.
About time we got some strong conservative blacks on our side. I hope it's a growing trend. The Democrats have "helped" black people backwards in countless ways.
That’s the guy. Pretty impressive. I like him.
“I’ve never heard of him.”
He was nominated for Speaker Of The House. He’s excellent and would be an outstanding VP.
I believe his background is in high finance
Do you have a source?
You’re on the internet.
So you don’t have a source. I couldn’t find one either.
First result, took 5 seconds…
You lie that you looked, or you’re Kamala level incompetent.
Now that wasn’t so hard was it? And no, I didn’t lie. There’s a little blurb about it in Wikipedia that I missed. That’s all.
You have the entire internet. You were at least lazy.
Or I did a search on “Byron Donalds”, looked at a few bios about him and didn’t see anything. Momentarily lazy? Perhaps. Incompetent, no. You have a simple mind to think incompetence or lying or the only two possibilities.
In 1997, Donalds was arrested for marijuana distribution; the charges were dropped as part of a pre-trial diversion program. In 2000, he pleaded no contest to a felony bribery charge as part of a scheme to defraud a bank. His record was later sealed and expunged
Why exactly is this guy a good choice ? I don’t see it.
He’s black and can speak English, that’s it.
A ton of FReepers are self loathing whites constantly going out of their way for any minority.
I don’t know the source of their stupidity, but they’re cucks all.
And yet you didn’t find anything.
Right. We’ve already established that.
Calling creepers cucks is all you got? 😂
