Trump chose JD Vance as his 2024 running mate days before Vice President Kamala Harris became the likely Democratic nominee.
An ex-adviser to former President Bill Clinton has predicted that former President Donald Trump will remove Senator JD Vance as his vice presidential pick.
Rumors of Trump suffering buyer’s remorse after choosing Vance as his 2024 running mate have been rampant since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the likely Democratic presidential nominee.
While Trump has publicly insisted that he is happy with Vance, saying the senator is «doing a fantastic job» and has been «very well received» by the public during a Fox News interview on Thursday, worries remain about whether the Ohio senator could be a liability for Republicans in November.
Paul Begala, who served as White House adviser and chief strategist during Clinton’s successful 1992 campaign, suggested during a CNN appearance on Thursday night that Trump may decide to ditch Vance in favor of former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.
Begala said during a panel discussion on Jake Tapper’s interview with Haley, which aired minutes earlier, that the former ambassador was «campaigning» for the VP slot and that Democrats had already «set a precedent» by changing their ticket.
