Donald Trump said that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would be a good candidate for vice president if he ran again.
On the first night of their "History Tour" in Sunrise, Florida, Trump made comments to Bill O'Reilly.
December 11, 2021.
Trump agreed that he would be a good candidate if he were to run again.
"I think Ron would be great," Trump said. I think Mike was hurt by what happened on January 6. I think he's been wounded.
Trump said a woman or South Carolina Senator Tim Scott could be in the running, as well as other good options.
Mention of former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, elicited loud boos, while mention of former Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, brought huge applause. Bush and Trump were at odds during the Republican presidential nomination campaign.
Trump gave a beautiful endorsement to DeSantis in the governor's race, and he was praised by the president while speaking to O'Reilly.
Trump has said that he might run for president again.
There is a lot of speculation about who he might pick as his running mate, with some reports suggesting he might look to women or conservatives of color.
According to the former president's own words, he is unlikely to choose his former Vice- President Mike Pence, with whom his relationship appeared to deteriorated after the January 6 Capitol riot.
Some attendees of the Capitol riot called for Pence to be hanged after Trump publicly railed against him for not having the "courage" to reject the 2020 election results.
Trump appeared to defend the rioters for making the comments.
The two men might never see eye to eye on the events of January 6.
