Trump finally reveals who he’s eyeing for vice president

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has finally revealed who he is eyeing as his potential vice president.

In an interview with Fox News, airing on Sunday, the former presidentrevealed that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott are currently on the short list to become his running mate in the 2024 election.

“We have some many good people in the Republican Party,” Mr Trump told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.

“I called Tim Scott and I told him ‘you’re a much better candidate for me than you are for yourself,’” he added.

Mr Scott endorsed Mr Trump last month after the senator ditched his own presidential bid, dropping out of the Republican primaries in early November.

Mr Trump went on to say he is also considering Ms Noem – who endorsed Mr Trump in early September – as his potential running mate.

“Kristi Noem has been incredible fighting for me,” he said of the South Dakota governor. “She said ‘I’d never run against him because I can’t beat him.’ That was a very nice thing to say.”

In an interview with Ms Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures, Ms Noem denied that Mr Trump has contacted her about being his running mate.

“We talk all the time, but we’ve never had that conservation,” she said.

Last month, Mr Trump hinted during a Fox News town hall that he had already chosen his pick for vice president – but refused to reveal who it might be.

Many names have been floated as potential options,including Vivek Ramaswamy, Rep Elise Stefanik, and his only remaining Republican presidential contender Nikki Haley.
