"Trump's Potential VP Picks: Pressure Mounts for Diverse Running Mate"

Friends and allies of Donald Trump are suggesting mostly women and Black men as potential running mates to help improve his standing among those demographics and attract more moderate voters in a likely general election rematch against Democratic President Joe Biden in November. Names being considered include South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, New York congresswoman Elise Stefanik, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, South Carolina U.S. Senator Tim Scott, and Ben Carson, Trump's former Housing and Urban Development Secretary. Trump is seeking loyalty and deference in a running mate, with opposition to picking Nikki Haley intensifying among some allies and within his campaign.
