Former President Donald Trump is not ruling out Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) as a potential running mate if he chooses to run again in 2024.
When asked by Fox Business host Stuart Varney if he would consider DeSantis, Trump replied, “Sure I would. But, you know, there are numerous people that are great. I would certainly consider Ron. I was at the beginning of Ron.”
He continued, “I was the first one to endorse him when he came out as a congressman that a lot of people didn’t know and my endorsement helped him tremendously and I know him very well. He’s a great guy.”
Trump reiterated, “We have other great people, I mean you look at some of the people, the Republican people, that have done a great job with states.”

During a Fox News interview on Saturday, Trump discussed whether he would ask former Vice President Mike Pence to be his running mate if he runs again, as IJR reported.
“Mike and I have a good relationship, we continue to have a good , but it’s too early to be discussing running mates certainly,” Trump said.
Trump’s relationship with Pence seemed to shift following the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
During his speech on Thursday at the Hillsborough County Republican Committee’s Lincoln-Reagan Dinner in New Hampshire, Pence said he and the former president may never see “eye to eye” on the January 6 events, as IJR reported
