During Thursday's Hannity segment at Eagle Pass's Shelby Park, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump said that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is 'absolutely' on his short list of potential running mates. In Trump's babbling response, he said that Abbott has 'done a great job' and is 'somebody that I would very much consider' for the position.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott rails against transgender athletes and crossdressing teachers during a rally in San Antonio this month.
In Trump's babbling response, he said that Abbott has"done a great job" and is"somebody that I would very much consider" for the position.Onlookers have suspected that former presidential candidate Tim Scott was the front runner to be Trump's VP pick. However, Trump had some interesting words for the Republican Senator from South Carolina.
Abbott didn't say anything during the minute and 30-second conversation, only smiling and shaking his head in agreement. However, according to Southern Methodist University professor of political science Cal Jillson, Abbott's apparent lack of enthusiasm could be because he doesn't want to the job. Indeed, being Vice President is a mostly ceremonial role and would undoubtedly be a downgrade from leading the world's 8th largest economy.
