Likely Choices:

Tim Scott
Christi Noem
J.D. Vance
Vivek (not likely though, despite all of Vivek's Trump sycophancy, cause a V.P. slot is meant to appeal to some demographic. Mike Pence was meant to placate the Christian conservatives)

Wild card choice:
Tucker

DeSantis may have had a shot if he didn't squash efforts by some FL Republicans to have tax payers foot part of Trump's lawyer fees; to the tune of several million.

New article from Fox News:

TL : DR - Noem and Scott appear to have a good chance.

Trump reveals criteria for running mate, name drops two top Republicans

I think the smart choice would be Tim Scott trying to get more of the black vote. I think Noem though or maybe Vivek for how fast he caved and wouldn't say nothing bad about Trump when pressured. I wonder when he will name the VP, maybe after super Tues

If I was a MAGA voter I think Tucker would be the ideal choice.
 
noem or scott, thay both fill a target demographic republicans need, im guessing noem, as she gargles his balls the most.

Eh maybe, I will be voting for Trump most likely, but I am no fan of Tucker. I will take Scott, I couldn't imagine something happening to Trump and Tucker being the president. That is of course assuming Trump wins. But strategy wise I don't think Tucker would bring over much extra votes or get independents to swing their votes compared to maybe others. I guess it could be worse with people like Sarah Palin, Kari Lake, Matt Gaetz, or MTG
 
J.D. Vance just said this:

JD Vance: ‘Congress Should Have Fought Over’ Multiple Slates of Electors in 2020

Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that if he had been vice president in 2020, he would have accepted multiple slates of electors because “the U.S. Congress should have fought over it.”

Translation : President Trump, please please pick me as your V.P.

Veeps don't actually matter much, but the point would ideally to get non-MAGA voters. Pence was picked to help unify the party, Biden was picked to reassure people who worried about Obama's lack of experience, same dynamic with Cheney, etc.
 
haley represents the swamp that he's fighting to drain. he'd be an idiot if he did that and his base would justifiably disappear.

Dynamic has changed from 2016. Pence was selected to shore up the religious wing of the party. In 2024 the whole party has a cult like affinity towards Trump. He needs a VP pick that attracts moderates with acceptable international policies.
