Most Republicans and Democrats seem to agree that Donald Trump will be the GOP presidential nominee again in 2024, after his wins in both the Iowa caucuses last week and the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday.
Barring a development that somehow upends the race, that would mean the next — and final — big question about the 2024 presidential ballot is Trump’s running mate.
So who might it be? Below is my rundown for who makes the most political sense, and why.
This list takes into account who is thought to be under consideration, who would fit with Trump’s personal style and politics, and who might provide the ticket something of value. Given Trump’s experience with his vice president, Mike Pence, surrounding the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the list is weighted toward candidates who demonstrate loyalty to Trump — on his legal issues, on trying to overturn the 2020 election — a requirement that is undoubtedly a major part of his calculus. (For instance, one question that is likely to linger over a Trump VP pick is whether they would pardon him if he’s convicted of a crime and removed from office.)
