Vivek is the Top VP Pick among Trump's closest confidantes, Glenn Beck reveals - but South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is the hot favorite
Conservative political commentator Glenn Beck told former President Donald Trump to pick
Vivek Ramaswamy as his 2024 running mate, the media entrepreneur claimed.
During an appearance on the Patrick Bet-David's podcast last week, Beck revealed that Trump - the presumptive Republican nominee - called him to ask his opinion on his VP pick.
'I said Vivek,' Beck told the four podcast hosts, adding the former president asked him to explain his answer and said: 'That's the No. 1 response from everybody I've asked that question.'
Beck explained he told Trump that Ramaswamy will be an effective
surrogate for his campaign and its message, as well as being a skilled attack dog and defender of Trump's record and vision.
Beck noted Trump remained coy about where his own head is regarding his ultimate pick for his ticket partner.
At present, Vivek remains a strong odds-on pick for the veep slot, but currently ahead of him on US betting markets are South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, whose name has floated around Trump-world since early in his first term, and House GOP Chairwoman Elise Stefanik.
The 38-year-old millionaire biotech CEO defended Trump throughout his own now-suspended campaign and will likely become a vocal surrogate for Team Trump moving forward.
