Donald Trump is no closer to choosing a potential running mate for his 2024 bid. At least that’s according to an audio recording from a recent Mar-a-Lago event obtained by Axios Sunday in which the former president speaks about a number of people vying for the position—all of whom he seems to hold a very high opinion of.
Some of those featured on the list include Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), (“As a candidate he did a good job, but as a surrogate he’s unbelievable”), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), (“A very smart person. She was in upstate New York when I met her … little did we realize she would be such a big factor”), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), (“Somebody who’s created something very special politically…I like diversity. Diversité as you would say. I like diversité”), and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) (“His name is coming up a lot for vice president!”), among others.
Also included in the list was South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who had seemingly fallen out of favor amid a series of bizarre scandals surrounding her soon-to-be-released memoir, in which she admitted to shooting her 14-month-old hunting dog dead over its poor behavior and reportedly claimed falsely to have met North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un. The former president said Noem was “somebody that I love,” while adding: “She’s been with me, a supporter of mine and I’ve been a supporter of hers for a long time.” Read more at Axios.
Trump’s holding a very high opinion of anyone means nothing. This is his typical honey talk. He already has VP who’s been with him the past 7 years. Any awakened person would tell you.
