7 Potential Running Mates for Donald Trump
abcnews.com ^ | March 19

Chris Christie

In an announcement that surprised almost everyone, Christie endorsed Trump in February.

As Trump’s running mate, Christie could be an effective attack dog against Hillary Clinton.

A Trump-Christie ticket would also reinforce the narrative that both men are tough Washington outsiders who “tell it like it is.”

Rick Scott

When he ran for Governor of Florida in 2010, Scott self-funded his campaign and spent upwards of $75 million of his own money.

Scott, who recently called for his fellow Republicans to “coalesce behind” Trump, could help the New York billionaire in Florida -- a key swing state.

Scott’s personal wealth, career in finance and governing experience could also be a plus for the ticket.

Ben Carson

Carson could energize Christian and evangelical voters to turn out for Trump.

Carson first came to national attention in 1987 when he successfully separated conjoined twins. In 2013, Carson’s conservative critique of health care in the United States, standing near President Obama at the National Prayer Breakfast, brought him back into the national spotlight. His own presidential campaign also boosted his profile.

Jeff Sessions

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III has been active in national politics since before Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz graduated from high school.

Prior to his election as a senator 1996, Sessions served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama and later was appointed by President Reagan to be the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama in 1981.

Sessions’ experience in the U.S. coupled with his expert knowledge of foreign policy could ease voter concerns about Trump being too inexperienced on matters of national security and how to work with Congress.

Not Nikki Haley. Too dumb and not a nbc. She has too many skeletons in the closet, secretly left the state during its worst flooding. She loves Syrian asylum seekers and wants more of them in her state. Trump would carry SC, and she would add nothing to the ticket. Jeanine Pirro had a great response to her horrible response to Obama’s SOU address.
