Mick Mulvaney, the former White House Chief of Staff under Donald Trump, has revealed who he thinks the former President has chosen for his running mate.
During an interview with Sky News Australia, Mulvaney was asked who he believes Trump will pick as his vice president.
“I’m giving you the winner right now; I’m telling you it’s going to be Ben Carson.”
Mulvaney continued:
“The one element I think Ben Carson has that none of the other six people on the list have is I don’t think Ben Carson wants to be president; I don’t think he wants to run for president.”
“The 2028 election starts the next day after the 2024 election. I don’t think Donald Trump wants anybody in that White House running for President on day one of his second term.”
“That’s why I keep coming back again to Ben Carson. They know each other, they like each other, he’s trustworthy, he’s loyal,” added Mulvaney.
