Former President Donald Trump unveiled his shortlist of potential running mates in the general election, which includes prominent figures from both sides of the aisle. Among them are Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard.
The Revealed Shortlist
During a town hall event in Greenville, SC, Fox News host Laura Ingraham presented a list of names to Trump based on audience recommendations. The notable figures on the list were Gabbard, DeSantis, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Representative Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem.
Selection Criteria
When asked if all these names were on his shortlist, Trump affirmed. He emphasized the importance of common sense in potential running mates and the necessity for them to be capable of assuming the role of president if required.
