Former President Donald Trump has indicated that he has narrowed down a shortlist of potential vice presidential candidates for his 2024 presidential campaign. This list includes several high-profile Republicans, such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, and Representative Byron Donalds of Florida. Additionally, former Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who was previously a Democratic presidential candidate, is also being considered.

During a Fox News town hall, Trump did not specify a timeline for announcing his running mate but spoke highly of Tim Scott, calling him a "great advocate." He emphasized the importance of "common sense" in his choice and downplayed the significance of the vice-presidential pick, suggesting that voters are more focused on the presidential candidate.

The upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland has been highlighted as a potential venue where Trump's choice for vice president could become clearer. Notable Republican figures, including some mentioned on Trump's shortlist, will be present at the event. With Trump's confirmation of his potential VP candidates, discussions and speculations continue to grow within the Republican party as they gear up for the next election cycle.
