WASHINGTON – As Donald Trump cruises towards the Republican National Convention, the talk is drifting quickly toward his possible vice-presidential candidate.
“In this cycle, I do think the VP pick is going to matter more than it has in the past,” says former Trump White House Official Hogan Gidley.
That’s because it could determine the future of the party. If Donald Trump wins, he can only serve one term. Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s advanced age could lead to a President Kamala Harris if he has to step down in a second term. That means an upcoming VP debate could signify a real glimpse into the future.
“So what you’re going to see is not just necessarily a vice presidential debate, but kind of a presidential 2.0 debate if you will,” Gidley tells CBN News. “Where is the party going to go from our side and from their side and the differences could not be more stark.”
There are six people considered to be on Trump’s shortlist for VP: Representative Elise Stefanik; Governors Kristi Noem and Sarah Huckabee Sanders; Senators Tim Scott and J.D. Vance; and Dr. Ben Carson.
