Trump’s Potential Vice Presidents Make Television Appearances in Bid to Join Ticket After Fundraiser

Former President Donald Trump’s potential vice presidential candidates made waves over the weekend after spending time with him at his Florida home. Many of them appeared on Sunday shows, echoing Trump’s doubts about election results and criticizing President Joe Biden’s handling of campus protests.

South Carolina Gov. Kristi Noem faced backlash over a story about killing a dog and goat on her farm, leading sources to say she is no longer on the shortlist for VP consideration. Meanwhile, House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio made high-profile TV appearances as speculation grows over Trump’s VP pick.

Stefanik criticized Biden and the Democratic Party for campus unrest, while Rubio called Biden “weak” and suggested revoking visas for international students involved in protests. Scott accused Biden of pandering and not condemning antisemitism quickly enough.

Trump’s focus on election integrity was also a hot topic, with Scott refusing to say if he would accept the 2024 election results and Burgum falsely claiming irregularities in the 2020 election.

Rubio faced questions about changing his residency to serve as VP, pivoting to criticize legal battles against Trump. Noem defended herself after a controversial anecdote in her book and addressed an error about meeting Kim Jong Un.

The VP speculation continues as Trump’s potential candidates make their voices heard on national platforms.
