LITTLE ROCK — U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is “high on the list for something” in a Donald Trump administration, Trump said last week, adding fuel to speculation that Cotton could become the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s vice-presidential pick.
In an interview Thursday with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, a transcript of which has been posted online by RealClear Politics, Trump said he could not give any clues as to who he would pick for a running mate. Hewitt said he thought Trump should pick either Cotton or New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and Trump, while not saying whether he agreed, spoke positively of both men.
“Well, I think they’re both great, and they’ve been very supportive,” the billionaire developer and reality television star said, adding that “I like those two guys a lot.”
Trump noted that Christie endorsed him early and said that “I’ve gotten very good, you know, very good statements from Sen. Cotton, who is a, you know, who I know, whose parents I know and met. I think that he is a very talented guy. He’s also very popular. He’s a very popular person. So these are two names that I have high on the list for something at least, that I can tell you.”
