The press have turned former President Donald Trump's deliberation over potential running mates into an 'Apprentice'-like spectacle, and team Trump is more than happy to play along.
The leak-fueled orchestration by Republicans who are either openly or quietly running for vice president is a classic cabaret of media and political intrigue. Virtually every significant name on the mythical 'short list' – which essentially exists in Donald Trump’s head – has undergone a boomlet in the press, fed by the potential veep or by surrogates. The Trump campaign is bemused by the spectacle, and happy to let the auditions play out. Indeed, in some cases Trump wants these tryouts.
Trump has noted that Vance once 'said some bad s*** about me.' But he has been known to forgive past critics, such as Ted Cruz and the man he once dubbed 'Little Marco.' The height of absurdity came when Axios reported that Nikki Haley, who has not endorsed Trump two months after dropping out as his last opponent, was under active consideration as his running mate. The next day came a Truth Social post: 'Nikki Haley is not under consideration for the V.P.
This whole thing is starting to resemble an 'Apprentice' contest. But since Trump has made clear he won’t make an announcement until just before the convention – why ruin the suspense? – this won’t be decided for two more months.
One thing is clear: As Trump has told me and others, the pick ultimately doesn’t matter because people don’t vote for vice president, it’s all about the top of the ticket.
