By all accounts, President Trump’s search for a running mate is entering the home stretch.
And just like that, four of the 12 leading contenders that Axios profiled just two weeks ago are out—for now, anyway.
Many expect Trump to choose a woman, a black, or a Hispanic to be his running mate, operating on the thesis that Trump just needs more diversity points to get over the hump next fall.
We will, of course, support President Trump, no matter his choice. We want Trump to win in 2024, and we want his political revolution to win in the annals of history. Making the right call for vice president is crucial to both of those desires. And in Revolver’s view, simply picking a “diverse” candidate is not the way to go. Instead, the answer is clear: Among the names still being considered for the role of Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance leads the pack.
Most reports have Trump down to a small stable of likely picks, and on Tuesday, Bloomberg released a report that, if true, narrows the field even more:
Donald Trump has ruled out Vivek Ramaswamy as his running mate and is instead eyeing the entrepreneur for a Cabinet job, according to people familiar with the matter, as the Republican presidential nominee sizes up a possible administration.
Trump personally told Ramaswamy he won’t be his vice presidential pick, according to people briefed on the discussion, but is considering him for posts including Homeland Security secretary.

Trump is known to change his mind about personnel and policy, but for now, he isn’t satisfied with his roster of vice presidential possibilities. Stefanik, the No. 3 House Republican, is seen as lacking a national profile, fundraising base, or ability to deliver her home of New York state, a long-held pipe dream for Trump,...

Ultimate surprise outsider:
Kevin Roberts, head of the Heritage Foundation.
He’s the real deal. Check him out at the World Economic Forum. He blistered the global elites.
I’ll say again that would be wild given that she has basically endorsed Kennedy (most of my positions align with his...).
I like Stephen Miller or general Mike Flynn.
Someone who will find a way to deport every single illegal alien, and then start deporting the scumbag trouble makers who were given citizenship (Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Pramila Jayapal) and all those filthy foreign born judges (Tanya Chutkan, Amit Mehta) etc.
I would prefer they were outright arrested and then executed but that would make martyrs out of them. Maybe instead inject them with the COVID “vaccine” so they can die a natural death. /spit.
No. Vance is just as articulate without the smug veneer, which turns people off. Vance is #1, but I can live with Rubio, strategically.
I’d take Vance all day long, especially over Noem
Vance offers an extremely articulate spokesman for the Constitution and freedom. He is brilliant.
—-> Vivek is the correct answer to gain the youth vote.
1. Has this Hindu converted to true Christianity yet (not the Biden/ Clinton fake claims), or is he still worshipping the 300 million pagan elephant gods? Some of us don’t want to turn our treasured constitution over to a pagan. Even a smart pagan.
2. Point to Hindu leaders that have led their countries to greater freedom and success? I can point to a great many installed Hindus who are running their countries into oblivion.
3. Demonstrate the natural born status of this man?
4. As a grifter, why would we set him up to inherit the greatest movement since Reagan?
Mike Rowe would be great. I watched an interview of him last night about how RFK had vetted him for his VP pick. They agreed on a lot and disagreed on a lot. RFK said he didnt want a yes man.
As long as it remains true.
Tulsi Gabbard is the ideal person to head the 2028 GOP Presidential ticket and carry on DJT’s policies. NOT!
Many freepers have said that Vivek does not meet Constitutional requirements to be President. If so, that should rule him out for the VP position also.
I hate to take a Senator out of the Senate unless it’s almost guaranteed that their position will be filled by another Republican.
Always surprising to see how many people recommend someone from Florida, which won’t work since Trump is in Florida. Don’t people know the constitution?
I’ve not heard of the Soros Foundation. Perhaps Mind made it up?
Don’t people know the constitution?

Don’t YOU know the Constitution? There’s no Constitutional prohibition against a president and vice president being from the same state.
Allen West? Is it the Allen West from Florida? Or the Allen West from Texas?
Well that sure as heck would not be Tim Scott.
Sure they can be from the same state but under the constitution they don’t get Florida’s electoral votes, which means this is a non-starter. Or did someone rewrite the constitution recently?
Vivek is articulate, a bulldog, a master of the facts, and loyal to Trump.
Again now, Trump’s VP will be someone not even mentioned yet. So, you’re gonna have to dig a big deeper. Perhaps a LOT deeper.
I’d mention a possibility, but then it would be “mentioned”.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I’m thinking my possibility is the same person you can’t mention
he is like harris or Haley and Obama and Jindal before him Him VS Harris would give us two ineligibles running against each other.
Except for Obama; it was just his father that gave him the british option. If you have an option you are not natural born to one particular country.
