Donald Trump said that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) are on the short list to be his running mate in the 2024 general election.
He also dispelled rumors that he is considering Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a vice presidential nominee and said his team never reached out to the independent candidates.
Speaking with Fox News Sunday host Maria Bartiromo, Trump said he won't announce who he plans to run with in the 2024 ticket for 'a while.'

Was it a cousin of Phyllis Gates?…
Trump is jerking someone’s chain. It isn’t mine.
These asinine “possibilities” may be only leaks to counter reports of lower polling results from female voters.
Good Grief these are NOT war-time VP’s, and we are in a war.
For the neutered, the neutralized and for the birds.
Trump recently said he has already picked his VP. All this talk about a short list is likely disinformation.
Senators make very bad President-VP
Trump will be 78 on election day. He should pick someone who can take over for him should he have a stroke or heart attack. Someone who can run the executive branch including the military in what will be a perilous time for the U.S. That should be the pre-eminent qualification. Period!
That leaves out anyone who is picked only because they’re perceived to help him win. Scott is a lightweight. Ditto for Noem and Lake. They’re not presidential timber. He should pick DeSantis who has proven he can govern in a crisis, shares Trump’s philosophy, is a smart lawyer, and has an understanding of the military having served himself. Nobody even comes close to his qualifications.
But Trump won’t do it because he would be afraid as a lame duck president he would be overshadowed by DeSantis, the heir apparent. Plus, his ego wouldn’t allow it. DeSantis probably can’t stand Trump and wouldn’t want to be his understudy, so, this pairing will never happen, unfortunately.
I agree. How about Byron Donalds out of Florida? Can’t Trump identify a RINO by now? There are so many other great choices
Kristi Noem and those hair extensions drive me insane. Lee Zeldin would be great.
No to Hawley
I really like Kari Lake. She would be really good.
Kari Lake is PISSED about how the AZ governor election was stolen from her. Pissed like a crazy vindictive ex wife. She would be good to be on Trump’s team.
Then explain why they love Hillary? Or Pelosi?
I like Noem, Donalds, Vance, and Scott, not in that order necessarily.
Me too!! Tucker would be a good pic!
cause they’re ugly ... that’s the point ...
TrumpII would likely take either Rick Scott or Foam Boy before Donalds, not that Donalds isn't a formidable future Senatorial candidate.
It's going to be Youngkin but both Florida Senators are in the Top 10.
Rick Scott is classic stiff-necked, say-little, do-nothing Vice Presidential material. You look in the dictionary next to "textbook future VP candidate" and there's a picture of Rick Scott.
Foam Boy maybe solidifies TrumpII's 5+ lead with Latinos over The White Hospice, but he's a Gang of 8 loser and might would purposefully undercut TrumpII on Amnesty.
The Democrat Nightmare of 2024 is Youngkin as Trump's VP.
VA GOP POLL WATCHERS EVERYWHERE
"Last year [ed. note: 2020], Lynchburg (VA) didn’t have any poll watchers during its early voting period, according to Gibbons.Then President Joe Biden flipped Lynchburg, a longtime Republican stronghold, beating out Donald Trump.
This year, the city has had a poll watcher in their office every day since early voting began on Sept. 17. Most of them have been Republican, Gibbons says, and many have had “preconceived ideas about the voting process.” One GOP poll watcher, who was later removed, accused her staff of stealing the election from Trump, she recalls. “Our office has been on edge.”
“That’s why Scott is still in play.”
Larry Elder over Tim Scott any day.
Why do you two think a “talking head” would be a good pick? He’s fundamentally an entertainer! Where is there any evidence he’s capable of taking over the office of the president? It’s ludicrous!
Pass on both. Noem strikes me as RINO, Scott is less than brilliant. Needs to be someone with as much smarts and resolve (or as close as possible) as PDJT.
DOH!
I think Trump’s VP choice will be Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The media will work to destroy her much as they did Sarah Palin, but I think Sanders can handle it.
