Republicans remain in a fight to win Donald Trump’s vice presidential nomination, with Tim Scott and Doug Burgun rising in the ranks, but Kristi Noem’s efforts have literally hit the skids.
Sen. Scott of South Carolina fits many of the boxes set by former Vice President Mike Pence, according to an anonymous senator.
“I think he’ll want to have someone who doesn’t overshadow him, who is loyal to him and who gives him something.”
“That’s why I think Tim Scott will be an attractive choice for him, because I think Tim is very loyal, very well-spoken and intelligent,” the senator said.
Meanwhile, one-time favorite South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is all but out of the race following revelations that she shot and killed her 14-month-old dog Cricket.
