Tulsi Gabbard has more weaknesses and fewer strengths than other potential Trump running mates.
, his inner circle, and outside observers in the media and elsewhere have shifted their focus to the next steps he needs to take on the road to the GOP convention in Milwaukee this July.
Kristi Noem and Sarah Huckabee Sanders are both female governors. Noem has a plus in her looks, Sanders in her tenure as White House press secretary. Both represent reliably red states that are small and add nothing to Trump’s electoral coalition. Young, Hispanic, and telegenic, Sen. Marco Rubio was once seen as the future of the GOP. Despite flaming out in the 2016 primary, he has suddenly found himself among the front-runners for the opportunity to preside over the Senate.
And eying it she is, by her own admission. Asked in March if she’d be amenable to being Trump’s vice president, Gabbard, “I would be open to that.” The possibility that she’s on Trump’s short list was a major factor in herto spurn independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s offer to be his running mate. Gabbard, a source told NBC News, only turned down Kennedy because she “is convinced that Trump is going to pick her.
There is, moreover, a clear appetite for those views within the party. Trump himself has sought them out. The former president solicited Gabbard’s advice on “foreign policy and how the Defense Department should be run in a second Trump term,” thein February. This meeting of the minds is why, per NBC News, Trump insiders believe a national security post is a much likelier landing spot for the Iraq War veteran in a second Trump administration than the vice presidency.
Harris, the incumbent, is deeply unpopular. Her ratings are worse than Biden’s. From her irritating laugh to her habit of tossing word salad whenever she opens her mouth, she is an object of contempt and ridicule whose most notable accomplishment to date is a series of failed reinventions, each less successful than the last.
