The right decision Vivek would not add a single EC vote
Agree that politically he would not bring any states electoral votes Trump would not already get. VP also has little direct power. Chief of Staff would really be a good place as he could ensure the right people are in place and avoid the uniparty. Management and taking the bureaucracy out of the government, attacking the deep state are things he could really make an impact.
The days of a VP adding any strength to a ticket is long gone. Vivek would bring a great deal of youth and enthusiasm to the ticket, but I think Trump feels he might be overshadowed by him, so his ego may be getting in the way.
Vivek would be a good cabinet pick or on the whitehouse staff.
Tulsi Gabbard is my sleeper pick.
Stefanik Noem and Scott will not bring in independents or young democrats. Gabbard would do both.
