Attendees chose who they preferred as Trump’s potential vice presidential running mate, and the winner was Kari Lake, who received 20 percent of the votes.
Ron DeSantis, who is expected by many to throw his name in the hat as a 2024 presidential candidate, was second in that poll with 14 percent of the vote.
Nikki Haley, who’s the former United Nations Ambassador and already declared her presidential candidacy for 2024, received 10 percent of the vote to become Trump’s running mate.
