Mike Pompeo Comments on Potentially Being Trump’s Vice President Choice
From Badlands NewsBriefs
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who served under ex-President Donald Trump, was asked on Wednesday about potentially being chosen as Trump’s running mate, saying he’d “be pretty inclined to go try and be a part of the team.”
Trump became the presumptive Republican presidential candidate following a string of GOP primary victories on Super Tuesday, setting up a likely rerun of the 2020 contest against President Joe Biden.
Speculation over Trump’s pick for a possible vice presidency has intensified in the last few weeks, with Trump having fallen out with his former vice president, Mike Pence, who said he would not endorse Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
When asked about his choice for a potential vice president at a Town Hall event on Fox News in January, Trump said, “I can’t tell you that really, I mean, I know who it’s going to be.”
While speaking on The Guy Benson Show on Wednesday, Pompeo was asked if he would be open to being Trump’s running mate. Pompeo replied in part, “If I got a chance to serve or the president wanted me to serve and I thought I could make a difference, I am almost certain that I would say yes to a request like that.
“If I thought I could literally help the president be successful in whatever role that might be, I’d be pretty inclined to go try and be part of the team to actually deliver good outcomes for the country,” Pompeo said. — Newsweek
Well I’m a bit surprised to hear Pompeo as a possible VP choice. I do like that he used to give Hillary a bad time. Stayed on her case & ppl noticed. But besides a few other things like having events that were for him some were paid thru taxpayer money rather than campaign money. Also, some felt his wife was too heavily involved in one event. Something about guest list getting out??? Anyone have some good things to share? He travelled so much I haven’t heard much. Anything stand out that he made good decisions?
Any work that stood out?
Didn’t he make a couple of snarky comments against President Trump? I can’t support this option.
