President Trump said during his Fox News town hall Wednesday night that he already knows who will be his vice president. “If you are the nominee‚ which I know you expect to be‚ who would be in the running for vice president?” Martha MacCallum asked. “I can’t tell you that‚ really‚” Trump responded. “I know who it’s going to be‚” he added. “Can you give us a hint?” Bret Baier asked. “We’ll do another show sometime‚” Trump said. MacCallum asked Trump if he would consider any of the other GOP presidential candidates as his vice president. “Would you be open to mending fences?” she asked. “Oh sure‚ I will. I’ve already started to like Christie better‚” Trump responded. Christie dropped out of the GOP primary shortly before the Iowa town hall. WATCH: The Des Moines Register reports: Former President Donald Trump said at a Fox News town hall in Iowa on Wednesday evening that he’s already decided on a vice presidential running mate for the general election‚ but declined to name the person. Asked about the process of selecting his partner on the 2024 ticket if nominated‚ Trump said‚ “I know who it’s going to be.” With the Iowa Caucuses just five days away‚ Trump answered questions from Iowans and Fox anchors Bret Baier and Martha McCallum at the Iowa Events Center. Just a few miles away‚ CNN was hosting a debate at Drake University featuring former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump was invited to the debate but declined‚ as he has with each debate this campaign cycle. Chris LaCivita and Jason Miller‚ senior campaign advisers to Trump‚ told reporters after the town hall that he had spoken to close allies about what “qualities” he had been looking for in a candidate but had not explicitly discussed names. They declined to elaborate on those qualities. “That’s an issue that we really have not in any great detail discussed‚” LaCivita said. “I’m sure when that times comes‚ everybody will know who it is.” Trump’s vice president in his first term‚ Mike Pence‚ launched a challenge to him this year but dropped out of the race when he failed to garner significant support in Iowa and other early states. Several names have been tossed around as Trump’s potential running mate. Rep.

NATIONAL POLL: Who Is Your Top Choice For Trump’s VP?

According to the Daily Beast‚ Chris Christie was caught on a hot mic talking about Nikki Haley’s chances against Donald Trump. The former New Jersey governor said Nikki Haley is “gonna get smoked.” Christie made the comments right before he got on stage to announce the suspension of his presidential campaign. BREAKING: Republican Presidential Candidate Drops Out "While waiting for Chris Christie announcement‚ he can be heard on a hot mic criticizing Nikki Haley while talking to someone‚" Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin said. “She’s gonna get smoked‚” Christie said. “You and I both know it‚ she’s not up to this‚" he continued. "He also claims DeSantis called him‚ then feed is cut‚" Melugin commented. LISTEN: BREAKING: While waiting for Chris Christie announcement‚ he can be heard on a hot mic criticizing @NikkiHaley while talking to someone. “She’s gonna get smoked‚” he says. “You and I both know it‚ she’s not up to this.” He also claims DeSantis called him‚ then feed is cut. pic.twitter.com/3Lrz2t6BQ8 — Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) January 10‚ 2024 Daily Beast reports: First‚ Christie began by defending his campaign’s effort despite a disappointing performance that culminated in his decision to drop out on Wednesday. “People don't wanna hear it‚ Wayne‚” Christie told Wayne MacDonald‚ a longtime supporter and former New Hampshire Republican Party chairman. “We know we're right‚ but they don't wanna hear it. We couldn't have been any clearer‚ we couldn't have worked any harder... And look‚ she's spent $68 million so far‚ just on TV... and we've spent 12. I mean‚ who's punching above their weight?" Christie did not say Haley’s name‚ but it was obvious he was talking about her. The former New Jersey governor then added insult to injury for Haley‚ who many anti-Trump Republicans believe could upset Trump in New Hampshire with a Christie endorsement. “She's gonna get smoked‚” Christie said of Haley. “You and I both know it‚ she’s not up to this.” As MacDonald was about to hear—along with several hundred others on the livestream feed—Christie was indeed resigned to his fate. Then the candidate brought up another rival‚ Ron DeSantis. Christie said DeSantis called him‚ “petrified that I would…” before the sound abruptly cut out. The campaign removed the video from YouTube a few minutes later. The Christie campaign did not immediately return a request for comment. DeSantis posted on X that he agreed Nikki Haley would get smoked. I agree with Christie that Nikki Haley is “going to get smoked.” — Ron DeSantis (@RonDeSantis) January 10‚ 2024 From POLITICO: Christie has made no secret of his modest-to-low opinion of Haley’s campaign. For weeks‚ he had declined calls by her boosters to leave the race‚ arguing that she — and others — had not shown any backbone in standing up to former President Donald Trump. The two have not spoken in recent weeks‚ two people familiar with the matter confirmed. A person familiar with his thinking said Christie changed his mind only in the past 24 hours. “Part of the reasoning‚” the person added‚ “was he had no interest in allowing Haley or others to use him as a scapegoat.” As for potentially backing Haley‚ the person added‚ “it’s clear he won’t be endorsing.” “Chris Christie has been a friend for many years‚” Haley said in a statement in response to Christie dropping out. “I commend him on a hard-fought campaign.” On the hot mic‚ Christie was also caught musing about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis‚ who he said had called him‚ “petrified.” It’s unclear what DeSantis was petrified of.
