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.'

Picking Tim Scott is a great way to end maga. Not only does he offer nothing, his replacement in SC would be Haley. So Graham and Haley representing SC would be a 4d chess move to help destroy any conservative movement. But, at least Boeing would have their senators in.

You nailed it. He knows how to put on a show. And with SC coming up... he happens to name Tim Scott, from SC. LOL

Trump knows how to game the pundits perfectly.

Kari Lake is an inexperienced loser. I doubt she will win the Senate seat.

She's a good speaker and not much more.

She will wind up from whence she came...in the media as a news anchor...this time with a bigger paycheck...

Please, no Tim Scott. He stands for nothing and does nothing. Goes to church, good guy, but not the leader we need.

My SC disappearing Senator.

I don’t think Rand Paul and Trump are the best of friends, but Rand has integrity and he doesn’t put up garbage from anyone.

Plus the VP pick has to help get Trump across the finish line. Trump can’t govern if he can’t get elected.

Trump correctly assessed that no Veep candidate has ever even slightly helped win an election. He says it’s a story for a few days on the news and that’s about it.

Looking back, I think he’s right.
More accurately, the Veep is the way another faction of the party reigns in the candidate. Reagan...Bush. Trump....Pence. Etc..

I like Tucker—tough as nails and can take the heat—and is excellent life insurance.

She won by a large margin in a criminally stolen election. She has integrity and busted the GOPe bribery attempt. She is articulate and sharp.

The last VP to help get a President elected was LBJ.

He stole Texas for JFK—and then joined the assassination club.

Be careful what you wish for—lol.

sometimes, though, when a married man is elected the country gets afflicted by his supposedly- “tamed” (per you and William Shakespeare) wife

such as,
elect Billy Clinton and we got HilLIAR Clinton free in the bargain.

elect the ineligible Obama (or whatever his real name may be) and we got Michelle free for us all to enjoy

just saying....it is not an easy picture.

Kristi Noem had an affair with Corey Lewandowsk, Tim Scott is gay.

Vivek should be the VP.
