Jason Miller, a top aide of former US President Donald Trump, has indicated that voters are likely to rule out Indian-American presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy as Trump's Vice Presidential pick. This statement follows Trump's recent criticism of Ramaswamy, labeling him a threat to the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement. In response to Trump's attack, Ramaswamy refrained from criticizing the former president, describing it as "friendly fire."
Miller told The New York Post on Sunday that voters could "probably" rule out Ramaswamy as Trump's running mate, stating, "Pretty safe to say it won’t be Vivek." Despite Trump previously praising Ramaswamy as a "smart guy" with "good energy," the recent criticism and Miller's comments suggest a shift in the dynamics.
Trump, who leads the Republican race, has not yet announced his running mate but indicated a preference for a woman in the role during a recent interview. While several names are being considered, including Elise Stefanik, Trump's final decision remains unknown. Ramaswamy, for his part, had ruled out the possibility of being the Vice President, asserting that he is not a "Plan B person." The unfolding dynamics within the Republican party continue to shape the landscape for potential candidates.
