Donald Trump Jr. is on the search for a “fighter” to run alongside his father, former President Donald Trump, in the 2024 race for the White House.
Highlighting the importance of the vice presidential role, Trump Jr., who is lobbying his father to choose a running mate who is willing to take on distinct challenges, told the New York Post that the position needs someone who can take the political attacks — and hit back.
“What I want in that role is, I want a fighter,” said Trump Jr., 46. “I understand what they are going to throw at us.”
“In 2016 you needed someone to balance out [the ticket] — that’s where Mike Pence made sense, sort of the yin and yang, but [given] the vicious nature of the swamp and the insanity we see on a daily basis, you need someone who can take those hits,” said Trump Jr., the former president’s eldest child.
