Former President Donald Trump is well on his way to easily locking up the GOP presidential nomination for the third straight time, but attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference were split over who should join his ticket.
Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem tied as the top pick among CPAC goers in the veepstakes with 15% apiece, according to a straw poll at the grassroots event.
Former Hawaii Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard came next with 9% support, followed by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) at 8% each.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) scored 7%, Arizona Senate hopeful Kari Lake notched 6%, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson each nabbed 5%.
DeSantis has ruled out serving as Trump’s VP.

I pick Noem over Vivek.
Vivek would be good in some cabinet post.
Personally I like Kari Lake.
neither....
If it was between these two I’d go with Vivek. I think he would skewer the dims more and be more amusing plus like Trump he’s not a career pol.
she’ll find a nice plush job as an anchor after losing her senate bid.
No. We’re never going to win Illinois, and I don’t see her helping anything in any way ever. Please stop bringing her up.
You’re like the clowns in 2016 who would type “Jefferson Beauregard Sessions” as if that name alone would cause all of us to fall to our knees in awe.
Please.
I like her because after the release of that recording, she’s proven she can’t be bought.
1) Sarah Huckabee Sanders
2) Byron Donalds
3) Vivek
Neither. Vivek vetted? Noon.
Rand Paul has that Trump fight in him.
Maybe he already turned him down.
Tulsi Gabbard is a "NO!!!!!!".
She is not even a RINO. She is a dim with a mildly attractive face.
Vivek is an absolute fraud and con man.
Sooner that POS is gone the better
Noem, Gabbard, Stefanik, Lake
Vivek wouldn’t help Trump get any extra votes.
I’m supporting Sheriff Mark Lamb. He has a better chance in the general.
Vivek is the Obama of the eGOP.
But most pols change or "evolve." Gotta take your chances, Trump included.
Yup. He and his family are grifters of the worst kind. Absolute stone-cold thief. People need to read how they made their money.
