Rep Donalds says he’d be Trump’s vice president: ‘Who wouldn’t?’

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) on Thursday said he would accept if former President Trump offered the chance to be his running mate — as Trump heads into 2024 as the front-runner of the GOP’s field of White House candidates.

“Would you accept the vice presidential nomination if he offered it to you?” guest host Elliot Williams asked the Florida lawmaker on SiriusXM’s “The Julie Mason Show.” 

“I mean, who wouldn’t?” Donalds answered.

The Florida lawmaker had previously appeared to leave the door open to the possibility, saying last month that “that’s really up to the president.”

Trump — who lost his 2020 reelection bid — is campaigning again to get back to the Oval Office in 2024.

Donalds endorsed the Trump campaign back in April — picking the former president over a fellow Sunshine State leader, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), of whom he’s been critical.

DeSantis has long been seen as Trump’s closest GOP rival, though Trump boasts a significant lead in most polling. The former president has touted his endorsements from Donalds and other Floridians as he battles back DeSantis’s bid.

Donalds was among a number of House Republicans who tried for the Speakership after the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from the top slot in October.

“I think that for me, it’s about wanting to save this country. I’m here to help and get the job done. … I’m a Republican. I’m very conservative. But this is not about a Republican-Democrat thing,” Donalds said Thursday when asked about the possibility of accepting the vice presidential nomination.

“So, if that’s something that’s open to me, would I do that? Yeah, I would, because I want to do everything possible to help get our country on track,” Donalds said.
