    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    After Donald Trump cemented his place as the front-runner in the GOP primary with his clear win in the Iowa caucus, questions soon turned to whom the former president may pick as his 2024 running mate.

    Trump has given no real indication, beyond offering small heaps of praise to certain people and ruling out any chance he would pick Mike Pence again after the pair’s relationship fell apart in the wake of the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

    In the wake of the Iowa caucuses, betting website Oddschecker listed what they believe are the most likely names in the running to be Trump’s choice of VP in 2024.

    Following Monday’s Iowa caucuses, where Trump won with more than 50 percent of the vote, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy dropped out of the race and immediately endorsed the former president.

    Ramaswamy has long faced speculation that his White House bid was more him vying to be Trump’s potential vice president in 2024, rather than a serious run for office.

    As well as a potential female running mate, there has also been talk of Trump picking a person of color to broaden his appeal in 2024, with Carson’s name being touted late last year.
