DeSantis can't be Trump's running mate unless Trump changes his official residence back to New York State. Also, it's pretty obvious that DeSantis will challenge Trump for the nomination, and if Trump is the nominee, he won't forgive that.

I believe Tim Scott has already said he's not running, but of course that doesn't rule out the VP slot. As a Democrat I don't want any of these people, but if I was advising Trump (assuming he's the nominee), I'd recommend a female VP. This assumes the Democrats run Biden and Harris. As to which one, they're all far-right wackos so any of them would be equally bad.

Among the men, Jim Jordan is a potential 1/6 conspirator so he'd be a bad choice, plus being a fascist psycho. Pompeo might take too much of the spotlight from Trump, and considering that he's a potential candidate himself, Trump would never pick him either. So that leaves Youngkin.

@LeopoldBloom I appreciate this comment right here
I personally think if he does, Stefanik would be the best pick. She would satisfy Congressional Republican Leadership since she’s already high up in it, and the further right Trump base since she objected to the 2020 results, and she’ll only be 40 in 2024, which is good considering Trump will be 78

@LeopoldBloom Either her or Tim Scott, he presents himself more moderately, and he could use Scott as leverage against accusations of racism

@Djac17 Thanks for the daily joke.

@Djac17 Scott has already said he's not interested, but until the ballots are printed that may not mean much. You're right about countering accusations of racism. I'm just not sure Scott wants to be associated with Trump considering that he tried to have his last VP killed.
