Former President Trump has decided that Vivek Ramaswamy won’t be his running mate this year, but he is considering him as a potential DHS Secretary, according to Bloomberg:
Donald Trump has ruled out Vivek Ramaswamy as his running mate and is instead eyeing the entrepreneur for a Cabinet job, according to people familiar with the matter, as the Republican presidential nominee sizes up a possible administration.
Trump personally told Ramaswamy he won’t be his vice presidential pick, according to people briefed on the discussion, but is considering him for posts including Homeland Security secretary. Some Trump allies see Ramaswamy as ideal for the job because they say he excels at public speaking and, as an Indian-American son of an immigrant, could neutralize criticism of sweeping immigration restrictions.
I’d prefer that Vivek be nowhere near the White House in any capacity, but if it means Trump winning then I guess we can endure it.
Until he does such a terrible job that Trump fires him. Heh.
