Donald Trump compliments Republican presidential candidates, weighs in on VP pick

Former President Donald Trump praised Sen. Tim Scott R-S.C., and said the 2024 ,

candidate may be a good fit in Trump's own administration if he wins the White House.

Trump made the comment during an appearance on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures"
with host Maria Bartiromo. Trump complimented some in the Republican primary field
during the interview, saying he believed that many of his fellow candidates were "talented"
people, and hinted that he was already having thoughts about a potential running mate.

"Isthere anyone on that stage you see as potential running mate, as your VP?" Bartiromo
asked.

"Possibly. I mean, I think you have some good people on the stage. Actually, I think you
have some very talented people. I've been impressed by some of them. Some of them I'm
very friendly with," Trump responded. "Actually, a number of them called me up not to ask
for permission, but sort of to ask for permission, to say they'd like to do it. A number of the
people up there – I'm not going to embarrass them by saying who – but no, I think you
have good people. I think you have good potential Cabinet members to actually do that."

"Do you see yourself perhaps with the senator, Tim Scott?" Bartiromo pressed.

"Ithink he's a very good guy. And we did opportunity zones together. It's never been talked
about. It's one of the most successful economic development things ever done in this
country. And Tim is very good. I mean, I could see Tim doing something with the
administration, but he's in right now campaigning…. But Tim is a talented guy, and you
have other very talented people."
