Former President Donald Trump signaled during an Iowa Town Hall event on Fox News Wednesday night that he has already decided who he will choose to be his running mate in 2024.
“I can’t tell you that really, I mean, I know who it’s going to be,” Trump said when he was asked who his running mate will be in 2024.
“We’ll do another show sometime,” Trump said when pushed by host Martha MacCallum to “give us a hint.”
“What about any of the people who you’ve run against?” MacCallum asked. “Would you be open to mending fences with any of them?”

“Christie for vice president?” MacCallum joked.
