Leading the pack are power players like South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and former presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, both clocking in at a solid 15% each. Noem, a staunch ally of Trump, flaunted her pandemic management chops and unwavering loyalty to the former president, making a strong case for her VP potential.
Meanwhile, Ramaswamy, the tech-savvy entrepreneur, didn’t shy away from brazenly backing Trump, painting himself as a warrior fighting for America’s future against all odds. It’s clear these contenders are pulling out all the stops to win Trump’s favor.
But let’s not overlook wildcard entries like Tulsi Gabbard, the ex-Democrat turned Trump supporter, and firebrand Elise Stefanik, who made headlines for her no-nonsense approach during Trump’s impeachment saga. With these diverse candidates in the mix, Trump surely has a spicy selection to ponder over.
