Former President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that at least half a dozen names are on his vice presidential shortlist — a list ranging from South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

During a Fox News town hall event, host Laura Ingraham asked Trump about six possible choices for his running mate: DeSantis, Scott, biotech entrepreneur and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and Gabbard.

    So… it’s going to be Tim Scott.

    Trump knows that both Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramasamy explicitly positioned themselves as Trump 2.0 but he’s too insecure to elevate anyone who might threaten him - or his attempts to create a dynasty - Vivek might skate by on being a sniveling bitch-boy but DeSantis has actual national recognition and occasionally steals Trump’s spotlight.
