Some new names and faces…
Former President Donald Trump floated a list of four names for VP that to much surprise did not include Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) or Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) who have been loyal Trump supporters.
However, in an exclusive post-rally interview with News 12 New Jersey’s Tara Rosenblum at Crotona Park in the Bronx, Trump didn’t have either of them on his mind.
When Rosenblum pushed Trump to “make news” and name some names, Trump initially said he didn’t want to — then dropped four names a few seconds later that included one Black candidate who isn’t Scott or Donalds and one Hispanic candidate who mocked Trump’s penis size in 2016:
TARA ROSENBLUM: So if not Nikki, then who? Let’s make some news tonight. You and I, for your hometown TV station. Share with me. Share with me your top three candidates for your running mate at this point.
DONALD TRUMP: Well, we have so many. I don’t want to do that, but we have so many. You could take people like Ben Carson. You could take people like Marco Rubio, JD Vance.
I mean, there are so many. Elise is doing a fantastic job here. But but I could go on for quite a long time. We have many people that would do a really fantastic job.
TARA ROSENBLUM: Do you have a timeline on when you’ll make the decision?
DONALD TRUMP: Sometime during the convention?
Scott and Donalds are both from Florida…as is Trump. The 12th Amendment says the presidential nominee and his pick for V.P. can’t be from the same state. So that nixes De Santis too.
False headline. Even the text of the article admits that while he may have tossed out some names, Trump HAS NOT given a “short list”, or even a list of possible VP candidates. If you have paid ANY attention to Trump in the last 8 years, it is blatantly clear he is toying with those that ask.
Typical media Gotcha ploy. Give a interstinf headline and then no follow through. If theyn do it too muck I put them in my spam folder.
