Trump: I’d ‘Certainly Consider’ DeSantis as 2024 Running Mate
Trent Baker 7 Jun 2021
Former President Donald Trump has not yet ruled out a 2024 presidential run, and on Monday, he said he would “certainly consider” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) as his running mate.
Trump praised DeSantis on Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Company” as “a great guy” and commended him for reopening the state of Florida amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
[Relevant portion beginning around the 13:25 mark of the interview]
Host Stuart Varney asked, “If you were to run for the presidency in 2024, would you consider Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, as your running mate?”
“Sure I would, but, you know, there are numerous people that are great,” Trump replied. “I would certainly consider Ron.”
“I was at the beginning of Ron, I was the first one to endorse him when he came out as a congressman that a lot of people didn’t know, and my endorsement helped him tremendously, and I know him very well. He’s a great guy. We have other great people. I mean, you look at some of … the Republican people that have done a great job with states, and you don’t see that with the Democrats. I mean, they kept their states closed and locked down, and the schools are closed. It’s just absolutely outrageous how they get away with it.”

Maybe I am wrong but I thought that the President and the Vice Presidential candidates can not be from the same state. Can someone please clarify?

Nah, Trump was One and Done as far as 2024 goes. DeSantas Claus is a stand alone guy. He doesn't need the Trump baggage to taint the Gov's run for POTUS.

Sure hope he is the CANDIDATE. TRUMP has way to much baggage and we do not need a rerun of TRUMP 24-7, JARVANKA running the country and personnel picks that work 100 % against TRUMP or another RINO AG. With McCarthy and McConnell as head of the RINO party TRUMP gets NOTHING done. He backed off those RINO and still trying to kiss up to be accepted and has not learned much in the past 4 years. :patriot:
