Hold onto your red hats, folks, because it looks like the fiery tornado known as Donald J. Trump is gearing up for another whirlwind run in 2024. But this time, he’s not going solo. Roll Call believes that the former president is on the hunt for a trusty sidekick to join him on this wild ride, and they’ve narrowed it down to five potential contenders. So, who made the cut?
First up is the fearless South Dakota Governor, Kristi Noem. With her recent endorsement of Trump and that bold Trump-Noem 2024 sign shimmering behind them like a patriotic beacon, it’s clear that Noem has caught the former president’s attention. And let’s be honest, who could resist the allure of Mount Rushmore as their campaign backdrop? Trump and Noem together would be a powerhouse duo, fighting for conservative values and turning heads wherever they go.
Next, we have Arizona’s very own Kari Lake, a Republican firebrand who has quickly become one of Trump’s top allies. If you thought the Grand Canyon was impressive, just wait until you see the Trump-Lake ticket in action. It’s a match made in conservative heaven, a force to be reckoned with. Lake’s name has been on everyone’s lips, and it’s easy to see why. She’s got the passion, the loyalty, and the unwavering commitment to the MAGA cause that would make her the perfect running mate for Trump.
Now, let’s talk about a real heavy hitter – U.S. Senator Tim Scott. Roll Call seems to think that Scott’s race and religion might be the reasons behind his inclusion on the list. But let’s not forget, Scott is one of the most principled conservatives out there, and his track record speaks volumes. Pairing him with Trump would be a bold move, showing the world that Republicans embrace diversity, as long as it aligns with their unwavering commitment to conservative values.
Ah, Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor who knows a thing or two about foreign policy. Roll Call points out that Haley would bring multiple layers of diversity to the ticket, potentially setting up a historic vice presidential debate between two Indian American women. Talk about breaking barriers. With her experience and her ability to navigate the treacherous waters of international diplomacy, Haley would be a formidable asset to Trump’s team.
What do those who have worked closely with Trump have to say about him❓

Last but not least, we have Elise Stefanik from the great state of New York. Dubbed by Roll Call as a “prominent Trump apologist,” Stefanik has proven time and time again that she’s not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. A staunch defender of the president during his first impeachment trial, Stefanik has been a vocal advocate for conservative values. And let’s face it, a New Yorker on the ticket would certainly stir things up in the Big Apple.
Now, you may be wondering why the VP talk is happening so early on. Well, my friends, it’s because Trump is already lapping the competition in the race to become the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nominee. He’s dominating the field like a bulldozer plowing through a field of daisies. According to Real Clear Politics, Trump is up a whopping 44.4 percentage points over his closest rival, our very own Ron DeSantis. Trump’s lead is so massive that even President Biden is starting to sweat. Reports suggest that Biden is already preparing to face off against Trump in the 2024 general election. Can you blame him? Facing the wrath of Trump is like staring down a tweetstorm of epic proportions.
So, for now, the Veepstakes remains a mystery. Trump hasn’t dropped any hints about who his chosen partner in political shenanigans might be. Buckle up, folks. The 2024 election season is just around the corner, and with Trump back in the spotlight, anything can happen. Get ready for more contentious debates, fiery rallies, and of course, those infamous MAGA hats. It’s gonna be a wild ride, that’s for sure.
