Donald Trump said that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) are on the short list to be his running mate in the 2024 general election.
He also dispelled rumors that he is considering Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a vice presidential nominee and said his team never reached out to the independent candidates.
Speaking with Fox News Sunday host Maria Bartiromo, Trump said he won't announce who he plans to run with in the 2024 ticket for 'a while.'

Tim Scott seems goofy to me.
I’m not interested in any republican party regulars, especially Tim Scott. We need a real American VP, a fighter.
Tim is as certainly on the take of the Military Industrial Complex in South Carolina just as surely as Lindsey Graham and former Gov. Nikki Haley.
Scott turns MAGA into RINO the new Mike Pence.
Yep. Scott has not impressed me.
President Trump needs life insurance.
Those two names are not up to the challenge of taking on the Deep State. That requires both hard core street smarts and a lot of raw courage.
Checking the policy boxes is not going gonna get that done.
I was going to say inarticulate but I think you are right. Goofy captures Tim Scott perfectly.
Neither Tim Scott nor Kristi Noem strike fear in the hearts of contentious foreign leaders. Also, neither will even begin to solve the illegal migrant situation.
DJT knows that he has to pick someone as daunting as he is, or the Deep State will “ eliminate “ him in order to get to a compliant VP.
My guess is that he picks J.D. Vance, Josh Hawley, or Kari Lake.
NOT Tim Scott NO WAY!!… We NEED a PIT BULL!!
Mark Robinson is that pit bull.
Clue: Experience is the best teacher.
Trump is just trolling. Wants to keep things entertaining for the peeps with short attention span/s.
There’s zero chance he picks Tim Scott. What he will do is bring up Tim Scott’s name until after the South Carolina primary just to keep Nikki Haley looking weaker in comparison.
Never been married. If he hasn’t ever tamed a woman, how you going to have him go up against Xi, the Saudi King, or Zelinsky?
Kristi Noem is too good looking, it will drive some women away from voting for her. Perhaps someone who could bring something more to the table like Lee Zeldin from New York.
I would support JD Vance, or maybe Kid Rock, or Tucker.
All of what you said. Plus the VP pick has to help get Trump across the finish line. Trump can’t govern if he can’t get elected.
I don’t know who that person is. Picking just the right person will be a tough job for Trump.
yes, imho it is a troll.
kari vs. kamala would make a good debate. and (who knows) kari might even get some of the (f) vote...
