Former President Trump on Wednesday suggested he knows who’s in the running as his vice presidential pick should he win the GOP nomination.
Trump attended a Fox News town hall in Iowa, where anchor Martha MacCallum asked who would be in contention to join him on the Republican ticket.
“Well I can’t tell you that really. I mean, I know who it’s going to be,” Trump said.
Asked if he’d be willing to consider any of the people who ran against him in the primary, Trump indicated he would.
“I’ve already started to like Christie better,” Trump quipped, a reference to former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) dropping out of the primary race earlier in the day and criticizing fellow candidate Nikki Haley in the process.
NBC News reported that a Trump campaign adviser clarified that nothing is finalized in terms of a vice presidential pick.
Trump is the dominant frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, maintaining a comfortable lead in national and state-level polling dating back to when he announced his candidacy in November 2022.
Polling averages from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ show Trump leading his GOP rivals by 53 percentage points in national surveys, by 36 points in Iowa and by 11 points in New Hampshire.
Trump has largely been mum about who he might choose as a running mate, though he has named South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) as an option he’d consider. The former president is not expected to pick his previous running mate and vice president, Mike Pence, for another campaign.
Trump allies have pushed for a female running mate, with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) and Haley among others mentioned.
it was true for Reagan...no way would Reagan pick that evil arse....
I agree

Red Badger:
Boy, these people are on the case.
🤣
That would be my choice also.
There are two lists Trump is going by for running mate VP.
First list is the “people being considered”, which is a long list, includes all the past and current VP contenders that we see in the news.
The second list is the “one that will be the VP running mate”. This list does not include ANYBODY from the first list. This list is very short - it’s only one name.
The first list may, or likely, will grow.
The second list is fixed in solid granite.
See #86, please.
Then Tucker Carlson is off. :) Although why that is the only name Trump has mentioned I’m not sure.
Loses my vote if he picks Haley, too. Same with Tulsi Gabbard which I think is even more unlikely than Haley.
Not VP material but they vote the right way.
But maybe she was, to torpedo both the McCain ticket and her future political viability.
Gabbard I don’t mind but I think she will be Kennedys running mate.
Kennedy/Gabbard would be an interesting ticket.
I had not thought of that, but that makes a lot of sense.
I was thinking Tulsi Gabbard just to get it across to the low IQs that the Democrap party is the real danger to the country. All I care about is getting Trump electing, that is more important than ANYTHING. If he loses and Biden wins, it’s game over.
Pompeo is a MASSIVE ESTABLISHMENT RINO who wanted to kill Julian Assange
Michele Obama.
Agree on Noem, No way.
Who ever—Must be MAGA all the way. Trump needs a smart, attack dog with a spotless record. Who ever he picks will be depicted as a new David Duke by the Hater Media.
I think its funny.
Everyone here thinks they will let Trump run?
What a joke.
He will be dead or in prison.
They are not going to risk him winning.
