Many of the people on former President and GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s VP shortlist were present at CPAC 2024 and gave speeches. Among them, former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. New York Rep. Elise Stefanik has also been another name floated, and she also gave a speech at the conference. Save for two other names purportedly on the list – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott – it’s almost like CPAC was an audition of sorts.
Or at least the CPAC attendees thought so. Their picks for Trump VP in the Straw Poll rendered some interesting results.
