The Presidential election is now just over ten months away, and Republican Primary results are heavily slanted in the direction of Donald Trump. Former UN Ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is still in the fight, but any chance of success now hinges on a catastrophic legal outcome for Trump.
Trump’s campaign just scored another victory in Michigan and appears positioned to steamroll into November as the official GOP Nomination for President. Now that the nomination appears all but secured, Trump is considering his options for Vice President.
Recently, former President Trump revealed his shortlist of VP potentials, and they are as follows:
Trump’s VP Shortlist
- Tim Scott – US Senator from South Carolina
- Ron DeSantis – Florida Governor and former GOP opponent
- Vivek Ramaswamy – Former GOP candidate
- Byron Donalds – US Representative from Florida
- Kristi Noem – South Carolina Governor
- Tulsi Gabbard – Former US Representative from Hawaii
The inclusion of Governor DeSantis is strange, considering how the two went at each other for months on the campaign trail. Still, this time two years ago, DeSantis was the darling of the Republican Party, with many election betting sites suggesting he would be Trump’s running-mate for 2024.
Odds have appeared at online political sportsbooks projecting the eventual Republican VP, and there are moneylines for each of the potentials that Trump mentioned.
