Rep. Ryan Zinke advised Trump to look at a VP pick who “really reflects areas where he needs to be more competitive to win.”
The fact that Hill Republicans are even mentioning Haley, whom Trump has already vowed to exclude from his options, signals that many in the GOP still see party unity problems despite the former president’s rosy recent poll numbers, according to interviews with roughly two dozen Republicans in both chambers.
“I would not discount Nikki,” added Rep. Ryan Zinke , Trump’s former Interior secretary. “He wants to make sure his running mate does not necessarily reflect himself, but also really reflects areas where he needs to be more competitive to win.” “He’ll serve the president well,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham , who has made the case for Scott directly to Trump. “Tim has wide and deep support.”
A new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll out this week pointed to Scott’s high national favorable rating. Another Senate Republican is catching the GOP’s eye, though: Rubio. “Marco Rubio would be good. … He’s already proved he’s pretty competent,” said Rep. Ronny Jackson , Trump’s medical adviser during his first term. Jackson also raised the idea of Ben Carson, Trump’s former housing secretary.
Cramer said that while he likes Vance personally, he doesn’t think the Ohio senator would maximize Trump’s electoral advantages this November: “ just cements the MAGA world, but they’re already pretty well cemented in.”
