With Trump's 2024 presidential campaign underway, curiosity mounts about who he will select as his No. 2. Trump signaled he will ditch his previous VP, Mike Pence, who has his eyes set on his own White House bid. Many believe he will pick a woman.
Trump has signaled he will ditch his previous No. 2, former Vice President Mike Pence, who has his eyes set on his own White House bid. More than a dozen Trump campaign veterans and former administration officials believe the former president will likely select a woman to join him on the ticket in an effort to win back the female voters he hemorrhaged to President Joe Biden in 2020.
Noem was elected as South Dakota's first female governor in 2018 after spending more than a decade in the House of Representatives and has made a name for herself as a leading Republican lawmaker in the so-called"culture wars." Stefanik, the current chairwoman of the House GOP conference, was elected as a centrist Republican in 2015 but, after serving on the president's defense team during his first impeachment, has shifted increasingly to the right. She frequently touts her strong ties to Trump and even endorsed his 2024 run days before he announced his candidacy.
Three GOP operatives with experience in multiple presidential campaigns stated that Trump could benefit from picking former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party before embarking on her media career, or former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who"hasn't shied away from criticizing Trump after Jan. 6."
Trump's campaign sent out opposition research during Haley's campaign announcement, and the former president mocked her multiple times on Truth Social.
