Well, well, well. If it isn’t the political oracle himself, Steve Bannon, making another one of his bold predictions. This time, he’s claiming that former President Donald Trump might choose a female vice president for his potential 2024 campaign. This revelation came during an interview with Sean Spicer. And while some of you die-hard Trump supporters may be hoping for your favorite Fox News host to get the nod, Bannon suggests you don’t hold your breath.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “But Tucker Carlson would be perfect!” Well, according to Bannon, the chances of that happening are about as slim as Biden giving up his afternoon naps. Instead, our erstwhile political seer believes that Trump will opt for a woman. He even provided a handy list of potential candidates, because of course he did.
So, who made the cut? Well, we’ve got South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, New York Representative Elise Stefanik, Arkansas Governor and former Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace. All solid choices, if you ask me. Sure, they’ve got their shortcomings, but who doesn’t? What matters is their commitment to the MAGA movement and their unapologetically Trumpian attitudes.
Bannon also threw in former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Arizona senate candidate Kari Lake, Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, and Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds. Although, it should be noted that Reynolds’ recent endorsement of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may have put her on thin ice.
Now, before you get too excited, remember that this is all speculation. Trump has about eight months to make up his mind, with the 2024 Republican National Convention set for July 15, 2024. So, for now, we’ll just have to wait and see.
Honestly, I have no idea who he will pick as VP. I don’t think that it will be Tucker. I think it’s going to be someone who is more of an “in the middle” Republican in order to appeal to some of that crowd. But I could be way off and he picks an amazing VP.
