Trump is narrowing down his search for his next running mate…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During a weekend interview, former President Donald Trump said he has two potential candidates in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump mentioned Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem when asked during a Sunday interview with Maria Bartiromo<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I have a lot of good people. We have a lot of really good people,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI have a lot of good ideas, but I haven\u2019t \u2014 and there\u2019s no reason to do that quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI speak to everybody,\u201d he said. \u201cI called Tim Scott \u2026 and I said, \u2018you\u2019re a much better candidate for me than you are for yourself.\u2019 When I watched Tim, he was fine, he was good, but he was very low-key, et cetera, et cetera.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Trump admitted he’s still a ways off from making any final decisions on a running mate. The GOP frontrunner told Bartiromo that his priority in choosing a running mate will be choosing “someone who would be a good president.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI watched him in the last week defending me and sticking up for me and fighting for me,\u201d he continued. \u201cI said, man, I said, \u2018you\u2019re a much better person for me than you are for yourself\u2019, because, for himself, he was low-key. For me, he\u2019s been a real tiger. He\u2019s been incredible. And others have too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
