POLL: If Trump runs in 2024, would you want this GOP Rep as his running mate?
Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly hinted that he may run for the Oval Office again in 2024, but has not officially announced his decision yet.
However, rumors are already swirling about who Trump would choose as his running mate, and CNN published a report on Thursday claiming that Trump may be considering Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, “according to multiple GOP sources with direct knowledge of the matter.”
CNN writes:
While talk about a 2024 vice presidential pick is of course premature, conversations about adding Stefanik to a future Trump ticket have gained steam in recent weeks at Mar-a-Lago and in other Republican circles, sources said. Current and former advisers and others in Trump’s orbit have privately argued that the New York Republican, who replaced Rep. Liz Cheney as the no. 3 House Republican last year, is a fierce and loyal attack dog, and Trump would benefit from tapping a woman for vice president should he run again.
Two people familiar with the matter said Trump has been surveying close friends and allies on what they think of Stefanik, one of several Republican women he is possibly eyeing for the potential VP slot, though he has not ruled out a few male contenders, too. One of these people said the former President believes Stefanik has undergone a genuine transformation — leaving the moderate wing of the party to join its increasingly powerful “America First” flank.
“There is a part of Trump who thinks he needs a female VP. He definitely likes her, likely because of how effusive she is to him,” one Trump adviser said.
CNN also quotes Chris Ruddy, majority owner of Newsmax, as saying, “President Trump thinks very highly of Elise Stefanik. … She has been talked about in circles close to him as a potential vice presidential. And there’s a feeling among a lot of people on the Republican side that they need to have a woman on the ticket this time.”
PLEASE TAKE OUR POLL BELOW – WE WANT YOUR OPINION! If Trump runs for president in 2024, would you want Elise Stefanik as his running mate? Or another female candidate?
Stefanik was one of Trump’s biggest public defenders during his first impeachment, objected to the 2020 election results & recently introduced a bill to “expunge” Trump’s second impeachment.
But she also recently irked Trump for supporting a $40 billion aid package to Ukraine.
