In an unexpected turn of events, Vivek Ramaswamy, a former Republican presidential primary candidate, has been speculated to potentially be former President Donald Trump’s running mate if Trump secures the nomination. This speculation gained traction after Ramaswamy exited the race on Monday night and gave Trump a glowing endorsement in New Hampshire on Tuesday.
When asked about the possibility of being vice president by radio host Glenn Beck, Ramaswamy admitted that he had not given it much thought until numerous people raised the question. He emphasized that any potential agreement with Trump would require them to be on the same page regarding certain key issues. Ramaswamy expressed his desire for accountability within the Republican Party and his stance on various matters such as the FBI building, carbon capture pipelines, and shutting down certain government agencies.

Although Ramaswamy declared that he would honestly consider being Trump’s vice president if Trump agreed to their shared agenda, Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany expressed doubt that Ramaswamy would be selected. McEnany suggested that Trump would seek a running mate who could add something different to the ticket rather than someone who mirrored his base of voters.
In an interview in August, Trump praised Ramaswamy’s intelligence, talent, and energy, indicating that he saw great potential in him. However, Trump has remained secretive about his actual choice for running mate, only stating that he already knew who it would be without providing any hints.
Speculation about Trump picking a female running mate has also arisen. Some potential selections mentioned by various sources include Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, and Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York.
