There has been speculation about Donald Trump's potential vice president after he clinches the Republican nomination.
Former US president and Republican precursor Donald Trump has once again revealed who his running mate would be after securing his party's nomination for the November showdown with Democrat Joe Biden.
While speaking in an interview with Fox News He did not name any specific person for the job on Sunday, but let his followers and observers guess who the potential candidate would be by describing his qualities.
Donald Trump said his running mate “must possess the ability to be a good president in the event of any emergency” that may surround his administration, as things are unpredictable.
There has been speculation about his potential vice president after he clinches the Republican nomination to run for the White House.
“You always have to know who will be a good president. Obviously, you always have to think about that, in case of emergency,” the 77-year-old said.
“Things happen, right? No matter who you are, things happen. That has to come first,” the defendant said.
Polls suggest the business magnate is leading the Republican race after scoring victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, followed by former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley.
The four-time impeached former president did not participate in any of the Republican debates and currently the race within the Republican Party has come down to these two candidates.
After stressing that he has no intention of announcing his running mate for “a while,” he nevertheless gave some clues as to who he would choose for the second most important position in the country.
“You know, I called [South Carolina Senator] “Tim Scott and people like Tim Scott, and I said you're a much better candidate to me than you are to yourself,” Trump said.
“When I saw him, he was fine. He was good, but very discreet,” said the former commander in chief.
Trump also noted that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has caught his attention.
Kristi Noem had said she would not run against Donald Trump because she doesn't believe she, or anyone else, can beat him.
Media reports previously claimed that Trump has been considering taking on Robert F. Kennedy Jr as a possible running mate, who has left the Democratic Party and is running for the White House.
Kennedy denied such an agreement. Trump Sunday also rejected the claims, saying these discussions never happened.
