I think she\u2019d be great,\u2019 one supporter told Fox, referencing the conservative firebrand and likely Republican nominee in the race to flip Arizona\u2019s Senate seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A number of others suggested Lake, as well as former presidential candidate and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, both of whom are strong backers of Trump\u2019s bid to retake the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think Vivek \u2026 I like what he\u2019s said,\u2019 one supporter told Fox, citing Ramaswamy\u2019s \u2018refusal\u2019 to bash Trump in the earlier days of the primaries, unlike the other candidates previously vying for the nomination. \u2018He\u2019s also a minority, so it\u2019s not like it\u2019s just another White person who supports him, so I think that\u2019s a big thing.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Some suggested Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, neurosurgeon and former Trump official Ben Carson and Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., but one name stood out more than all the others: South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I like his Christian values, the way he stands for Trump, the way he loves Trump, and I believe he\u2019s good support from Trump,\u2019 one supporter said of Scott, while another praised his record as a conservative senator.<\/p>\n<p>Trump revealed at least a few names on his shortlist for a running mate while participating in a Fox News town hall earlier this week. The list included Scott, DeSantis, Noem, Ramaswamy, Donalds and former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat turned independent who became nationally known after her run for the presidency in 2020, as well as for her sharp criticism of Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Haley, whom many considered a potential choice for Trump\u2019s vice president earlier in the campaign cycle, acknowledged to Fox this week there was zero chance she would be selected as his running mate, a view likely solidified by her refusal to leave the race despite being a heavy underdog with little chance of becoming the Republican nominee.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I wouldn\u2019t be doing this if I was worried about a political future,\u2019 she said. \u2018I would\u2019ve gotten out already. I\u2019m doing this trying to wake up our country.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>After providing the names on his shortlist, Trump also ruled out any suggestion Haley would end up his running mate.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News\u2019 Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.<\/p>\n\n<div>This post appeared first on FOX NEWS<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROCK HILL, S.C. \u2013 Supporters of former President Donald Trump attending his final rally ahead of Saturday\u2019s South Carolina Republican presidential primary shared whom they\u2019d like to see as his vice presidential running mate in the November general election.
