Who will be Donald Trump’s next pick for vice president?
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he would advise Trump to choose former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley as his running mate.
During the New York Times’s DealBook Summit, Andrew Ross Sorkin asked McCarthy who the “right person” would be for Trump to pick as his vice president among Haley, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), and 2024 GOP presidential candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.).
“If I was a political person, and I was going to advise somebody, you’re going to pick the vice president that’s about addition, not subtraction. So you’re not going to pick somebody that already equates to you,” McCarthy responded.
“Now if I was picking for purely political decisions, what it looks like today is the anti-Trump vote is going to Nikki Haley,” he added.
McCarthy noted that there are plenty of Republicans and Independents critical of another Trump term in the White House, and the California Republican predicted Haley could potentially help close those gaps.
Asked who that person is, McCarthy said, “Well, right now I think it would be Nikki Haley, in my view. But the question is: Who you select, will they serve? So that’s another question you have to have. And it’s about addition.”
Sorkin then asked if he believed Haley would accept Trump’s invitation.
“It’s up to Nikki,” McCarthy responded. “But this is a bigger question for Trump: If his campaign is about renew, rebuild and restore, he’ll win. If it’s about revenge, he’ll lose. The only person that’s going to determine that is — not his campaign ad — is him.”
President Trump should pick whomever he feels will best carry forth the great economic, political, social, and security of the US experienced under his leadership and then promise to continue that legacy when they would become president in 2028.
NO , shes the DC RNC swamp
Let him decide his VP, Noem??
I agree Stephen. Her recent statements prove she is a part of the Establishment RINO’s and she wants to put the citizens under a microscope when she said public comments should have a name attached to it which appears to be a huge privacy concern. This is America where free speech is the norm. She has made two other dumb statements and why many call her a Birdbrain.
