Most folks agree that Donald Trump is planning to run for President again in 2024.
But no one knows who his running mate will be.
And you won’t believe who Donald Trump is considering choosing to replace Mike Pence.
Donald Trump and Mike Pence haven’t been on good terms ever since Pence certified Joe Biden’s 2020 election win, making it official.
And should Trump secure the nomination in 2024, there’s virtually no chance he would pick Mike Pence to be his running mate.
This is leading to speculation as to who Trump will pick if he secures the nomination in 2024.
According to pollster Tony Fabrizio, who works for the Make America Great Again, Again Super PAC, Trump will make his choice based purely on gut instincts.
In an interview with POLITICO, Fabrizio also said Trump would likely choose a woman and most likely a minority conservative.
“Once you get past those two issues — loyalty and Trump going more with his gut — Trump has a lot of leeway in who he would pick,” Fabrizio stated.
Because of Trump’s standing as the 45th President of the United States – and his strong connection to the Republican Party base – Fabrizio explained that the traditional considerations of balancing the ticket ideologically or geographically did not apply in this situation.
“He’s not necessarily looking to balance the ticket geographically, but what he can do is pick to balance gender, race, ethnicity — a lot of different lanes there,” said Fabrizio.
“It could be everything from a Tim Scott in South Carolina to an Asian American in California, somebody Hispanic in Texas. There are so many choices and paths. And there’s lots of time to go,” he added.
Even though no one knows who Trump will pick as his running mate, whoever it is will become the heir apparent in the GOP and would likely be a virtual certainty to win the 2028 Republican nomination.
So whoever Trump picks will likely jump at the opportunity to serve as his running mate in 2024.
But right now everything is still speculation, which makes it even more suspenseful the closer we get to the election.
