Vivek Ramaswamy addressed speculation that he could be Donald Trump’s running mate, expressing the need for an agreement on key issues.
Kayleigh McEnany expressed doubt about Ramaswamy being Trump’s running mate, while Trump praised Ramaswamy’s intelligence and energy.

“That would need to be a discussion with Trump where I would say, ‘Listen, I want to make sure we’re on the same page. I don’t want to build a new building for the FBI. I want to shut it down. I don’t want to have crony subsidies to carbon capture pipelines. I want to end them. I want to shut down many of these agencies. I do think we need accountability in our own Republican Party. That we shouldn’t support the likes of Ronna McDaniel sitting in that seat,’” he said.
“’That we should on Day One actually pardon every peaceful January 6th protester and see that through. Admit that there were some mistakes made in the past, and we’re going to correct for them with the vaccine, and make sure that vaccine liabilities for companies — that we don’t get a special shield from being sued,’” he added.
“And I’d want to make sure we’re on the same page about those things,” he said. “Right now, I don’t know if we are. I’m the only one who’s taken a lot of those positions.”
“In order to be vice president, I’d need an agreement with Donald Trump that he agrees with me and is committed to seeing each of those things through, all the way through,” he said.
“I would honestly consider it,” if Trump agreed.
“I think when you’re looking at a vice presidential candidate, you don’t want a carbon copy of the nominee,” Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany said. “And in many ways, Vivek and Trump, they pick up the same base of voters. It’s the MAGA voters, the conservative voters. You want someone who’s going to add to your ticket,” she said.
“Well, I think he’s great. Look, anybody that said I’m the best president in a generation … I have to like a guy like that,” Trump said.
“He’s a smart guy. He’s a young guy. He’s got a lot of talent. He’s a very, very, very intelligent person,” Trump added. “He’s got good energy, and he could be in some form of something. I tell ya, I think he’d be very good. I think he’s really distinguished himself.”
Trump indicated he has a plan for his running mate and expressed openness to mending fences with opponents.
Some have speculated Trump will pick a female running mate, with several potential selections mentioned.
