Axios reports:
Former President Trump is strongly considering picking a female running mate — and sees Kari Lake as a model for his vice-presidential pick, according to people who discussed the topic with him. Trump is already gaming out the general election in November 2024 — and knows he has a massive weakness with the white suburban women.
But Trump friends say Lake carries a big downside: He wants no risk that his running mate could outshine him. Lake would be assumed to be angling for president from the day she entered the White House. She made a political trip to Iowa last month. And of course losing her winnable governor’s race (which she challenged) hurts her mojo.

Lake won last week’s CPAC straw poll to be Trump’s running mate, after which her team issued the tweet below. Others mentioned in the linked Axios piece: Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kristi Noem, and Nikki Haley.

We’re flattered, but unfortunately our legal team says the Constitution won’t allow for her to serve as Governor and VP at the same time. pic.twitter.com/gFV3z3wtxB
