Trump VP Sweepstakes Shakeup - New Name Rocks The Field

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America, and a new name has just shaken the vice presidential field

for 2024. Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe

Those little things really help us out, and they help our channel continue to grow

So, you guys have heard all the names. Tim Scott, Marco Rubio

Ben Carson, Kristi Noem, list goes on and on really, who's who, a plethora, Doug Burgum

you know, a plethora of people that are up for the vice presidential position

You know, I've even heard Byron Donalds recently, but a new name has emerged, a senator that I think would be a great pick

except, except he's a white man, right, which is fine. I mean, listen

I don't think you should be judged by your appearance. I don't think you should be judged by your race or your gender

but because he's a white man, what the media will do if this is the pick

is say, aha, see, Donald Trump's a racist sexist. That's the problem

It's that we don't control the narrative. Look who controls the media, late-night comedy shows, talk shows, that matters

That matters, and so if you want to give outreach to, you know, minority communities

representation also matters. Now, I picked Tim Scott for a multitude of reasons. The least on that list is the color of his skin

He's just a great senator. He's fantastic on foreign and domestic policy

He's young, which is a massive plus, but the fact that he is a minority

also helps attract other voters who may not normally vote, and you know, the name of the game in this is winning

We want to win. The other thing is, is that the guy that they're talking about here, he's, I love him. I'm a political junkie. I know him

but you are average American. He's not gonna bring excitement to the average American

He's not a name that's a game changer, and you kind of need that sometimes. You need that exciting, you know, young

energetic, charismatic guy. Marco Rubio absolutely would be on my short list. You know, I said Tim Scott, but I would accept Rubio. Rubio's young

He's good-looking. He's smart as a whip. He'll take Kamala Harris to school in a debate

I'm all for him. This particular guy, I'm not certain, but I want you guys to watch the video

Let me know if you think this is a good pick. Let's take a look. Senator Tom Cotton, you might want to call your office. The New York Times reporting tonight that the Arkansas

Republican has now emerged as a top contender for Donald Trump's vice presidential pick. Trump himself even making clear who's in the mix

You could take people like Ben Carson, you could take people like Marco Rubio, JD Vance

I mean, there is so many. Elise is doing a fantastic job

but I could go on for quite a long time. We have many people that would do a really fantastic job

My political sources tonight, a pair of CNN political commentators, Democratic strategist Maria Cardona and Republican strategist and also pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson

Great to have you both here. And Kristen, obviously Trump has said he's going to decide around the convention or at least announce around the Republican Convention in July

But I wonder what you make of the very public nature of this vetting process

that's underway, where not only is Trump talking about who he's looking at, they're going to his trial

they're going to rallies, they're on cable news. I mean, very clearly auditioning for this job

It's the apprentice vice president edition. That's that's simply what we're seeing. That's why it's playing out in public

This is just how Donald Trump operates. And frankly, a big piece of what he's going to be looking for this time is loyalty

He has been very vocal about what he feels was Mike Pence's disloyalty. Now, of course

Mike Pence did what the Constitution said he needed to do, but Donald Trump's still very sore about all of that

So he's looking for someone that he thinks will be 100 percent Team Trump all the time

And there's no better way to prove your loyalty than this very public display of it. That's what you're seeing play out

Well, and Maria, I mean, I'm glad that Kristen brought up January 6th because Tom Cotton

Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, they all voted to actually certify the results in 2020. Doug Burgum, of course

he's not a senator, but he's governor. He said that he believes Pence did the right thing
