Will Donald Trump choose one of his primary opponents to be his running mate or vice president?
that Trump would pick Noem to be his vice president if he becomes the Republican nominee. However, the densest concentration of Trump’s potential running mates is not in South Dakota, but sprawled across Iowa and New Hampshire.make for strong running mates
— or, at least, “some” of them would. But picking a one-time opponent as a running mate is a fraught business for any presidential nominee, let alone for Trump, who’s proven particularly prickly about perceived loyalty. Major-party nominees have in the last half-century moved away from what was once a traditional practice, avoiding the political headaches that have often plagued the allied ticket.
Of the 19 unique Democratic and Republican presidential nominees since 1972, only four selected a running mate who had run against them in the same year’s primary. Nominees were far more likely to turn to Congress for their running mate — more than half of vice-presidential nominees came from the Senate, and a couple came straight from the U.S. House.
Most presidential nominees who do choose a former primary opponent have to sweep tense moments from the campaign under the rug. When now-President Biden clinched the nomination in 2020, then-Sen. Kamala Harris was a natural fit in terms of balance — a Black woman in her 50s from California running alongside a white man from the East Coast who would turn 80 years old in his first term.
