In an interview with Fox News, airing on Sunday, the former president revealed that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott are currently on the short list to become his running mate in the 2024 election.
"We have some very good people in the Republican Party," Mr. Trump told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.
"I called Tim Scott and I told him 'you're a much better candidate for me than you are for yourself,'" he added.
Mr Scott endorsed Mr Trump last month after the senator ditched his own presidential bid, dropping out of the Republican primaries in early November. Mr Trump went on to say he is also considering Ms Noem – who endorsed Mr Trump in early September – as his potential. running mate
"Kristi Noem has been incredible fighting for me," he said of the South Dakota governor. "She said 'I'd never run against him because I can't beat him.' That was a very nice thing to say."
