Former President Donald Trump acknowledged Tuesday that at least five high-profile Republicans and one former Democrat are on his shortlist for potential running mates in the general election – including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and onetime Democratic presidential primary candidate Tulsi Gabbard.
The GOP presidential front-runner confirmed his shortlist after Fox News host Laura Ingraham rattled off a list of names at a town hall event in Greenville, SC, which she said audience members deemed to be good choices for him to tap for the vice presidency.
The names included Gabbard, DeSantis, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
“Are they all on your shortlist?” Ingraham asked Trump.
To which he responded, “They are.”
