John Bolton claims just two questions matter in Trump's VP decision

As former President Donald Trump narrows the field of his prospective running mates, a senior official from his previous administration says he may only ask two questions of each candidate before he makes his decision.

Former national security adviser John Bolton told CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Tuesday that he thinks the questions that are most important to the presumptive GOP nominee are, "No. 1, do you think the 2020 election was stolen? And number 2, ‘If I told you to do what I told Mike Pence to do on Jan. 6, would you do it?'"

It has been widely reported that three names remain in play for the Republican VP spot: Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, Governor Doug Burgum of North Dakota and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. Vance and Burgum are considered front-runners with Rubio more of a long shot.

The former cabinet member said the right answers may move any of those candidates up in Trump’s view, but said at a personal cost, "it would be a great loss of integrity for any of those people if they said ‘Yes’ to both those questions," Bolton said.

"I think the highest priority is absolute personal loyalty to him," Bolton said of Trump, reminding viewers that although former Vice President Mike Pence was loyal to the former President, on January 6, 2021 when Trump supporters descended on the Capitol, Pence was the one person among senior members of the administration that stood up to Trump saying he did the "right thing even when the rest of them failed."

He went on to say of the current VP hopefuls, "I don’t know whether these three are capable of doing that, honestly,".
