Donald Trump reveals who he's considering for potential vice president
Newsy
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump dropped the names of two potential running mates in an interview with Fox News Sunday.
Former President Donald Trump is leading the Republican Party's quest to snag the nation's highest title again in 2024, and he's just revealed which colleagues he's considering taking with him to the top.
Though the GOP front-runner said he wouldn't officially announce his vice presidential pick "for a little while," he name-dropped two potentials to Fox News' Maria Bartiromo Sunday: South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
Both prominent Republicans have endorsed Trump for 2024 and have made their way onto the shortlist of contenders for the secondary role.
Scott's inclusion came after he ditched his own presidential campaign in November and then threw his full support behind the former president, dealing a blow to a fellow GOP South Carolina politician and now the only other person vying for candidacy, Nikki Haley.
"I called [Tim Scott] and I said, 'You're a much better candidate for me than you are for yourself,'" Trump told Fox News Sunday. "When I watched Tim, he was fine, he was good, but he was very low-key. I watched him in the last week, defending me and sticking up for me and fighting for me."
