He didnāt name check anyone. The interviewer just listed off people and asked if they were all on his short list. Trump snap said āyeahā without thinking about it at all. If she had added Stefanik to the list, the response would have been no different.
I still think Boebert or Greene make more sense as VP. Trump canāt be replaced since they are even more insane. They are true believers and completely subservient MAGA loyalists.
Vivek would 100% be plotting how to stab Trump in the back from Day 1.
Vivek is probably kryptonite at this point anyway. He was the one drawing comments like āwere you even born hereā and āwe still have hard feelings about 9/11ā from dumb Iowans during the primary. No chance theyād risk losing even a fraction of a percent of the MAGA crowd for whom having a brown person on the ticket is a bridge too far or a sign that Trumpās gone āwokeā or whatever.
