In a recent appearance on Fox News, the former President Donald Trump made it clear that he’s got his eye on a potential running mate for the next election. In typical Trump fashion, he didn’t reveal any names, but he did tease that he’s already made his decision. Now, that’s some good ol’ presidential suspense right there!
When asked if he’d consider someone who’s currently competing against him for the GOP nomination, Trump didn’t hesitate to express his openness to the idea. That’s just the kind of confidence we’ve come to expect from the man who made “The Apprentice” a household name.
But get this, folks! The former president even hinted at the possibility of mending fences with his rivals. Now, that’s what I call political maturity! I mean, who wouldn’t want to see a good ol’ political rivalry turn into a buddy cop movie, am I right?
In a light-hearted moment, Trump playfully mentioned former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who dropped out of the race and was caught candidly chatting about Trump’s rivals on a hot mic. Noting that he’s starting to like Christie, Trump shrugged off speculations that Christie could be his veep, joking that it would be quite the upset.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting! According to NBC News, Trump’s campaign has tried to downplay his remarks, with an adviser emphasizing that “nothing is finalized” about a vice presidential candidate. Well, well, well, looks like the Trump train might still be picking up passengers and the conductor’s not ready to punch their tickets just yet!
And let’s not forget about the former president’s affinity for the concept of a woman as vice president. After all, Trump’s former running mate, Mike Pence, gave him a run for his money in the GOP nomination race before bowing out in October. Could we be seeing a Trump-Pence 2.0 in the making, or is there a new face waiting in the wings? Only time will tell!
