After confirming his candidacy for the presidential elections as the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump has begun preparing for the election and beyond. Trump has started forming his team and is looking for a candidate to be his vice president if he wins the election. This task does not seem easy for Trump, given the sensitivity of the position and the impact the nominee could have on the electoral battle, especially since Trump has parted ways with his former vice president Mike Pence, who announced he would not support the former Republican president's bid for the presidency.
Republican strategist Gregory Tosi, in an interview with "America Today" on Sky News Arabia, indicated that Trump has begun to think about the team he will work with in the event of a victory. Trump is keen on having a set of criteria in his team, particularly in terms of communication and connectivity.
- Trump's focus is on the skills of the chosen individual, regardless of gender, race, or affiliation, especially in the field of communication.
- Those surrounding Trump are pushing him to seek younger members for his team to attract more voters.
- Trump is concentrating on a deal-making and business-oriented approach due to his pragmatic nature.
- Trump may consider Nikki Haley, as he thinks in terms of deals and business.
