(Chris Parker, Headline USA) Twitter users have begun weighing in on former President Donald Trump’s ideal vice presidential pick for the 2024 general elections.
The trend began after Jack Posobiec, a Human Events senior editor, podcast host, speaker and Twitter influencer posed the question to his 2 million followers. The answers seemed to reflect a few common themes, reported the Blue State Conservative.
For one, there was a noticeable lack of support for well-known RINO Republicans like Mitt Romney and Mike Pence. Yet, they still believed that it needed to be a candidate with a large following and years of relevant service.
Some of the top contenders included Ron DeSantis, Kari Lake, Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, Allen West, Mark Robinson and Candace Owens.
The suggestions also prove that contrary to claims from the liberal media, conservatives don’t really care about race or gender. They want someone with a demonstrated history of staying strong and supporting American-first policies.
Of course, if Trump did choose a minority or woman as his running mate, and if his supporters rallied behind that candidate (as they’ve already rallied behind several), it would completely undermine the Left’s false claims that conservatives are inherently racist and sexist.
Regardless, it seems that Trump’s supporters want him to choose an outsider.
Trump has already announced that Pence will likely not be his running mate. While Pence paraded himself as an anti-establishment conservative during the 2016 election season, he has since been accused numerous times of being a RINO.
For example, Pence voted to certify the 2020 election results despite compelling evidence that it was rife with vote fraud. He also personally called Kamala Harris to congratulate her for her “win.”
When Trump was asked who he believes would be the future leaders of the Republican Party, Pence’s name was noticeably absent. However, Trump did endorse Pence’s brother for his congressional bid.
