Longtime Donald Trump ally Roger Stone engaged in speculation regarding the potential choice for the former president's vice president, proposing Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes as a strong candidate.

Stone emphasized the necessity for Trump to select someone capable of seamlessly stepping into the presidency if needed, advancing the principles of his “America First revolution,” and avoiding early missteps.

During an interview with Newsmax host Eric Bolling, Stone voiced his preference, stating, “[He’s a] 20-year member of Congress, former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, someone Donald Trump is very close to and trusts entirely. He’s Hispanic, a former farmer from before he went to Congress. I think he would be an excellent choice.”

Nunes, who served California in the House of Representatives from 2003 to 2022 before transitioning to lead Trump's media enterprise, had established himself as a steadfast Trump supporter during his congressional tenure.

As Trump assumes the position of the presumptive Republican presidential candidate, speculation mounts over his choice of running mate. Stone observed that Trump's list of potential candidates is expanding, mentioning names like Senators Marco Rubio and Tim Scott, Governor Kristi Noem, and Representatives Byron Donalds and Elise Stefanik. Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has also been rumored.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who served as Trump's VP during his first term, has announced that he will not be Trump’s running mate in 2024 and has refrained from endorsing the former president. He has yet to disclose his 2024 voting preferences but stated it would not be Biden.

Stone’s insights into Trump’s VP selection process offer a glimpse into the intricate considerations at play. As anticipation builds for Trump's announcement, Stone's analysis provides context for understanding the trajectory of Trump's campaign and the broader implications for the Republican Party.

Stone also underscored the significance of the Vice President's role in Trump's campaign strategy, suggesting the necessity for a partner capable of advocating strongly for Trump's policies and effectively operating within the administration.
