Probably neither….
But Rolling Stone entertains the idea…..
And BOTH women DO like the media attention even if they say some pretty off the wall stuff….
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE and Kari Lake have been locked in what one source close to Donald Trump describes to Rolling Stone as a “death race” to become his 2024 vice presidential pick.
In public, the far-right congresswoman from Georgia and the failed Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate are happy to present an image of calm unity in their cause to return Trump to the White House. But behind the scenes, the two view one another with intense distrust and disdain, each seeing the other as direct competition for Trump’s political affections, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.
Exacerbating the situation is the fact that Greene and Lake are the two leading contenders in a very narrow lane in the race to secure Trump’s VP slot, should he win the 2024 Republican nomination next year. It’s the lane of election-denying, shameless Trump diehard who has emerged as a conspiracy-theory-slinging star among the conservative base.
Greene, in particular, has gone beyond simple attempts to raise her own profile in the ongoing Trump veepstakes. In recent weeks, she has moved behind the scenes to tear down Lake, garrulously trash-talking her to others in the MAGA elite, political circles, and conservative media, multiple sources tell Rolling Stone.
In an ironic twist, one of the bigger complaints coming from Greene — who years ago cemented her public image as a QAnon-promoting, school-shooting-survivor-mocking, Jewish-Space-Laser-fearing activist — lately is that Lake is not a “serious” enough person to be Trump’s second-in-command.
“MTG thinks she’s a scammer and not even a conservative,” says one of the sources who’s spoken to Greene about this. The source adds that Greene has privately said that “Lake is a grifter and [is] trying to keep riding Trump’s coattails because she lost [in Arizona], so she’s cozying up on the election-integrity messaging.”….

Imagine how much you must hate yourself to be vying to be Trump’s VP.
Keith says
Or, how much you hate “other” people?

Lake might get it, but I’m thinking Ramaswamy or RFK Jr for Trump VP.
jamesb says
Vevik would fit Right in
Same alternate universe as Trump
Ghost of SE says
Ramaswamy never attacks Trump. I think they made a back room deal at the outset for him to run, fracture the non Trump field, Trump gets nominated, and Ramaswamy gets one of the higher appointments to a Trump ticket, possibly even a running mate. He’s a loudmouth, as has been said many times, but he’s a deferential loudmouth who displays the right amount of fealty.
jamesb says
Vevick is just as nuts as Trump and using his noise to get attention in the media
