Strategic VP Pick Concerns

Discussing the potential vice presidential candidates for Donald Trump, the podcast explores how the selection process involves considerations beyond just political affiliations. With black candidates like Ben Carson, Tim Scott, and Byron Donalds in the running, the majority of black voters expressed reluctance to support Trump with any of these choices. The discussion also delves into the possibility of Governor Burgum, J.D.
