CPAC crowd eyes Kari Lake, Kristi Noem as top picks for Trump’s 2024 running mate -
For CPAC attendees, that means their ideal GOP ticket rules out former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as well as Nikki Haley, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
Ms. Lake’s fight over the election results in Arizona, her battles with the media and her embrace of Mr. Trump’s America First agenda have earned her a big fan club at CPAC, where many attendees believe the 2020 election was corrupted by irregular voting practices and other shenanigans. “I’m not a Nikki Haley fan,” Patti Roberts, of Great Falls, Virginia, said as she left the auditorium after both Mr. Pompeo and Ms. Haley spoke.
Attendees at the influential gathering of conservatives also discounted Mr. Pompeo, who has not announced a presidential run but is considering getting into the race. Suzanne Monk, a conservative activist who lives in Washington, said she’s not even considering Mr. Trump’s former secretary of state for his 2024 running mate. That spot belongs to Ms. Greene, she said.
