The frontrunner for President Trump’s 2024 Vice President choice is Dr. Ben Carson, his former Director of Housing and Urban Development.

The Calvin Coolidge Project reported: “A source who is familiar with President Trump’s thinking tells me that @RealBenCarson is the leading frontrunner to be his Vice President choice in 2024 at this time.”

Trump reportedly values Carson’s loyalty and strong support for him. (Trending: Disgraced Democrat Sued For Sexual Assault)

Carson has already endorsed Trump for 2024. “Our nation is in desperate need of strong leadership. A President who fights for the American people, our freedoms, our safety, and our future. Donald J. Trump is that leader and I am proud to give him my full endorsement for President of the United States today. Join me in this fight to Make America Great Again!” Carson said.

Trump will not give a definite answer on picking a female vice president, but he said he likes the idea.

NBC anchor Kristen Welker asked, “Mr. President, have you thought about a potential running mate if you were to win the nomination?”

“I like not to think too much about that. You always do a little bit, but I really don’t think it’s time. I want to win. And, you know, it’s very interesting about running mates. When you get down to a vice president, they said, ‘Nobody’s ever made that kind of a difference. It’s still about the person that’s going to be president.’ But it’s an important decision,” he said.

“Are you leaning toward a woman?” she asked.

“I like the concept, but we’re going to pick the best person. But I do like the concept, yes,” he said.

“A lot of people noticed when Governor Noem endorsed you, there were Trump/Noem signs. Do you have your eye on her?” the anchor asked.

“I do. I think she’s fantastic. She’s been a great governor. She gave me a very full-throated endorsement, a beautiful endorsement, actually. And, you know, it’s been a very good state for me. And certainly, she’d be one of the people I’d consider, or for something else, maybe. But we have a lot of people. We have a lot of great people in the Republican Party,” he said.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) responded, “I think it’s intriguing. It’s interesting.”

“I haven’t been asked yet, and my focus is now on South Carolina as it always will be, and I understand why people might be talking about it. I do a lot for women’s issues and Republicans lost women last year.”

“But my focus today, as it always will be, I love the Lowcountry, where you and I grew up in, and that’s where my focus is. It’s a conversation we need to have because I want my little girl to know that she can be president one day,” she added.
