One notable name was missing from ex-President Donald Trump’s list of Republicans who he believes are doing good things.
Conservative commentator Lisa Boothe asked Trump — in the first episode of her new podcast, “The Truth With Lisa Boothe,†released Monday — who he thinks “are part of the future†of the GOP.
Trump rattled off a long list of Republicans — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis; Sens. Josh Hawley (Mo.), Ted Cruz (Texas) and Rand Paul (Ky.); former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders; and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
“Lot of very good people, really good people,†claimed Trump. “The Republican Party is stacked.â€
But Trump failed to mention his former Vice President Mike Pence, who is reportedly considering his own run for the White House.
Boothe then asked Trump ― who repeated his election fraud lie throughout the interview ― who could be in contention to run on the GOP ticket in 2024, if he doesn’t decide to run again.
“So some of the names I guess I just mentioned, perhaps. And others and others. There’s a pretty deep bench. I’ll make that decision sometime later. But there’s a pretty deep bench,†the former president replied.
Trump later criticized Pence for not illegally overturning the presidential election results, falsely claiming Pence could have rejected certain states’ Electoral College votes ― the source of tensions between the pair.
