| Print this article Former President Donald Trump said he is "100%" considering a 2024 run and floated Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a possible running mate. "I ran twice, and the second time I got 12 million more votes than the first time,” Trump said in a Thursday morning interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business. When asked whether he would consider having DeSantis as his running mate, Trump said, "He is a friend of mine. Certainly, Ron would be considered." "I endorsed Ron, and after I endorsed him, he took off like a rocket ship," the former president said of DeSantis. "He's done a great job as governor. They like that. ... I'm just saying what I read and you read. They love that ticket."
