“What qualities are you looking for in your vice presidential pick?” Ingraham asked.

The Washington Examiner reports:
Scott ran against Trump for the GOP presidential nomination but dropped out of the race in November. He would later endorse Trump days before the New Hampshire primary last month‚ in a major snub of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
The Palmetto State senator was in attendance at the Fox News town hall with Trump in Greenville. He is set to appear with Trump on Friday during another South Carolina appearance.
Other vice presidential contenders include former Republican presidential candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL)‚ who also appeared in South Carolina earlier Tuesday. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL)‚ former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard‚ and Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) are also among the running mate contenders Trump affirmed on Tuesday.

From Daily Mail:
A DailyMail.com poll in New Hampshire found Ramaswamy is the top choice to be running mate‚ followed by Scott in second and Tucker Carlson and Ben Carson in joint third.
‘All of those people are good. They’re all solid‚’ Trump told Laura Ingraham Monday night.
Trump said‚ however‚ that deciding on a running mate might not be the biggest decision of his campaign.
‘The one thing that always surprises me is that the VP choice always has no impact‚’ he said.
Trump noted that 2008 Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin did have an enormous impact‚ but faced attacks unlike anyone ever had before.
He then attempted to make his case for what qualities he felt his running mate should bring to the ticket.
‘It’s a very important position. You would like to get somebody who could help you from the voters’ standpoint‚’ Trump said – but noted he wanted someone with ‘common sense.’
DeSantis became a target of Trump’s notorious mockery during the primary‚ though the Florida governor dropped out and endorsed him.
Gabbard‚ who served several terms in the House of Representatives and ran for president in 2020 as a Democrat‚ has since left the party and become a regular in conservative media.
Scott and Ramaswamy both dropped out of the race after the early contests to endorse Trump.
