Speculation on who Donald Trump’s running mate will be erupted over the weekend after the former president was spotted with Vivek Ramaswamy entering Mar-a-Lago.
Ramaswamy, who dropped out of the 2024 race to back Trump, was in attendance at Mar-a-Lago for a Trumpette event on Saturday, along with his wife Apoorva and former First Lady Melania Trump.
As he entered, Trump was greeted with enthusiastic shouts of enthusiasm while festive music played in the background.
Political commentator Benny Johnson posted the footage on X:

The responses to the video erupted with speculation on Trump’s VP pick:
“That’s the ticket!!!” Baroness von M replied.
“I wonder if vivek will be vice president? I have never been so impatient in my life to know who the vp pick is. Waiting sucks,” Sassafrass84 said.
“VP energy?” News Nomad remarked.
“I hope Trump picks Vivek for VP,” said an account named Deep State.
“Vivek as VP would be [fire],” commented Rasta Rocket.
“I hope this is the ticket: Trump/Vivek,” said Steven Hasty.
Vivek was also invited on stage to speak at the event.

Laura Loomer provided more coverage.
“At the “Golden Evening for a Golden President” event at Mar a Lago tonight, @VivekGRamaswamy was introduced by President Trump when Trump realized he was at the event. They go well together. Electric energy when Trump and Vivek are together. I’m a big fan of this duo,” she wrote on X.
“Is driving me crazy, who is Trump going to pick to be his VP?” replied Molly Pitcher.
Last year, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson expressed his support for Vivek Ramaswamy as a potential Vice Presidential candidate for former President Donald Trump.
Carlson praised Ramaswamy for his shift towards authenticity in his positions.
“I kind of like Vivek,” Carlson stated.
“I think he’s one of those people who everyone beats up on… for being he’s a phony and all this stuff.”
“I feel like Vivek’s positions have gotten much more sincere since the beginning of this.”
