Former President Donald Trump is not considering Vivek Ramaswamy as his vice presidential running mate for the 2024 election but is eyeing him for a Cabinet position, possibly Homeland Security secretary.
Ramaswamy, an Indian-American entrepreneur, suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Trump, leading to speculation about his role in the administration.
“As of this movement we are going to suspend this presidential campaign,” Vivek said. “There is no path forward for me to be president absent things that we don’t want to see happen in this country.”
According to Bloomberg, Trump has ruled out Vivek Ramaswamy as a running mate and personally informed him of the decision. However he may have another position for him in his cabinet.
In addition, Trump is considering former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy as his chief of staff.… pic.twitter.com/Hwd7mWpMC0

“Tonight I called Donald Trump to … congratulate him on his victory and now moving forward he will have my full endorsement for the presidency and I think we are doing the right thing for this country,” Ramaswamy later said. “So I am going to ask you to follow me in taking our America First movement to the next level.”
Trump is also considering Kevin McCarthy as a possible chief of staff.
