He considers it \u2062a great honor and stated that his ultimate goal is for Trump to win the election. Donalds mentioned that he has known Trump for almost eight years and \u2062he \u200bis ready to do whatever is asked of him\u200c to help Trump secure a victory. This statement came after \u2064reports that\u2062 Donalds was one of \u2064the contenders on a short list of potential \u2064running-mates that the Trump campaign had sent vetting paperwork to.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p>Republican congressman Byron Donalds said it would be a \u201cgreat honor\u201d if former President Donald Trump were to ask him to be his running-mate for 2024, saying the ultimate goal is for Trump to win and he\u2019ll do whatever he\u2019s asked to help him do that.<\/p>\n<p>Donalds, who was reportedly on a short list of contenders that the Trump campaign sent vetting paperwork to, told The Daily Wire that he thinks he has assets that would be beneficial for the campaign, and \u201cwould accept\u201d if Trump made the offer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019d be a great honor, but it\u2019s his decision,\u201d Donalds said in a Nashville interview with The Daily Wire. \u201cHe\u2019ll decide what he wants to do and whatever his decision is, I\u2019m going to support that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to win,\u201d Donalds said. \u201cI\u2019m a real simple dude. I just want to win and be successful. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Donalds, like Trump, was born in New York City, he, like Trump, currently resides in Florida, where he\u2019s been a member of Congress since 2021. He is widely viewed as an upcoming star in the Republican Party, and was even floated as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/campaign-2024-an-early-look-at-the-possible-republican-contenders\/\" title=\"Campaign 2024: An Early Look At The Possible Republican Contenders\">potential candidate<\/a> for Speaker of the House after Kevin McCarthy was ousted last year.<\/p>\n<p>Donalds says he thinks he has three assets that would help the presidential ticket this November, chiefly his ability to communicate \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-finally-discovers-china-uses-u-s-media-to-attack-the-united-states\/\" title=\"CNN Finally Discovers China Uses U.S. Media To Attack The United States\">common sense<\/a>\u201d politics to independent voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re at this point in the country where common sense is the true desire, not political ideology,\u201d Donalds said, noting the shift away from Democrats among racial minorities. \u201cI think it\u2019s a good thing for America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donalds also said he has a knowledge of how Congress works, and is a proven force on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is an asset to the president is somebody who can make sure the wheels of Congress are moving to get the agenda done,\u201d Donalds said. \u201cThe third part is, I think in this environment you gotta be able to go campaign and help him get across the line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donalds is perhaps the most surprising name on the list of VP contenders, which also includes Republican Senators Tim Scott, JD Vance, Tom Cotton, and Marco Rubio. The other names on the shortlist are North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, and Donalds\u2019 House colleague, Elise Stefanik.<\/p>\n<p>The full interview with Donalds can be heard this weekend on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/podcasts\/morning-wire\">Morning Wire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Congressman Byron Donalds expressed that being former President Donald Trump&#8217;s vice-presidential candidate in 2024 would be a &#8220;great honor.&#8221; Committed to Trump&#8217;s victory, Donalds stated he would do whatever necessary to support him.
