The race for the Republican presidential primaries is down to former President Donald Trump and former Governor Nikki Haley.
Save for a judicial ruling, Trump is acting like the favorite to win.
This has, of course, driven significant attention toward his potential picks for vice president.
The MAGA leader has commented about his possible choices without revealing who his pick is.
However, we can infer a couple of key things from his statements.
Trump told Fox News’Bret Baierthat “people won’t be that surprised” by his pick.
So, who could Trump’s VP be?
Since being assigned senator by Nikki Haley in 2013, he’s tirelessly pushed conservative values.
He’s anti-trans rights, big on religious freedom, and a supporter of the free market.
Unsurprisingly, Trump has pointed to Tim Scott as a potential VP pick.
If Trump looks past this snag, Scott could be a great VP pick.
Noem even refrained from blaming Donald Trump for the 2021 insurrection at the Capitol.
She was among the 126 GOP lawmakers to sign a petition demanding that the election be canceled.
Trump also reportedly stated that she was a “killer” at a Mar-a-Lago event.
If Trump picks Stefanik, having a young woman on his team could definitely win him more votes.
She became governor in 2023 and endorsed Trump in November of that same year.
Now a governor, Sanders has a lot more sway than many other VP candidates.
Sanders could give Trump Arkansas and offer gender diversity on his ticket.
The U.S. entrepreneur, born to Indian immigrant parents, showed interest in politics before vying for president.
Vivek dropped out of the race in mid-January 2024 after announcing his bid towards the end of February 2023.
Ramaswamy has been hailed as an articulate businessman who could introduce diversity into Trump’s campaign.
Additionally, the politician’s deep pockets could be handy in the fight against Joe Biden.
