While Kari Lake is undoubtedly a strong conservative and a loyal supporter of President Trump, the fact that she has not yet held any public office would nonetheless be problematic, and her selection would be seen as ideological doubling down, where such doubling down is not necessary as long as President Trump is at the top of the ticket.
The post in question said that "a source familiar with President Trump's thinking tells me that Ben Carson is the leading frontrunner to be his Vice President choice in 2024 at this time."
Carson possesses many of the same qualities that made Mike Pence a strong running mate in 2016: He is calm, reserved, soft-spoken, and carries himself with the aura of an elder statesman in a way that balances perfectly with President Trump's more bombastic style.
Unlike Pence and his 11th-hour betrayal of President Trump on January 6, Carson has always been, and still is, unquestionably loyal to President Trump.
Even in the darkest of times, such as the immediate aftermath of January 6, or the brief period of time when Ron DeSantis's polling numbers appeared to present an actual challenge to President Trump's 2024 bid, Carson has remained a steadfast ally.
Carson would also surpass Pence because, in addition to being loyal to President Trump, it is clear that Trump is also loyal to him and has a great level of respect for the good doctor.
Unlike so many of the others who tried to challenge Trump that year, Carson did not hesitate to endorse the future president upon his own withdrawal from the race.
