HOUSTON ∙ Will a woman become the running mate of former President Donald Trump, who remains in the lead in the Republican primary? Political experts evaluate Trump’s statement that the idea of a woman for the position of vice president is not so bad. After Trump’s statement came out, the names of women who may be considered for vice president are also being discussed. If Trump comes to power after Kamala Harris, will the US get another female vice president?
Former US President Donald Trump said the other day that he is ready to choose a woman as his running mate in the upcoming 2024 US presidential election. In an interview with NBC News, he said that he hasn’t given much thought to the person he would pick for vice president if he were elected as a former US president, but he likes the idea of a woman.
In the 2016 US presidential election, the Mara-Lago chief won the White House race with Mike Pence. This time, the former vice president is running against his boss, Trump, in the upcoming election. Pence’s relationship with his former boss soured after the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
When asked if a woman would lean toward a running mate, Trump responded with optimism, political pundits noted. ”I like the idea, but we’re going to pick the best person. Trump said. But Trump said that he is trying not to think about it too much now.
Trump has made it clear that his only goal now is to win the primary and that he will consider the rest as the next step. During the interview, he stated that he was against imposing an age limit on presidential candidates. However, he clarified that it is the need of the hour to check whether the candidate is capable of performing the duties.
Meanwhile, if the vice president candidate is a woman, speculations are still going strong that Trump will choose Christy Nome. According to an NBC News report, Trump’s response comes days after speculation began that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Nome would be the vice presidential candidate. The reports started circulating after Noam endorsed Trump at a rally in South Dakota.
In the interview, Trump mentioned that he would consider picking Noam and called her an ‘amazing’ leader. “He was a great governor. “They gave me full support.
Also, they will be one of the people I consider. But we have a lot of people. “We have many leaders in the Republican Party,” he added.
The age of current US President Joe Biden and many presidential candidates including Trump is a topic of discussion. While the former US president stated that he did not support the imposition of an age limit on presidential candidates, he noted that competency testing was the need of the hour.
“You know, there was a test three years ago. At the Walter Reed hospital, as the doctors said. It was in front of the doctors. I was able to prove efficiency in the test. I am frank that testing is a good thing. Many say it is not unconstitutional to do so. – he clarified.
