Donald Trump has ruled out biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy as his running mate and is now considering offering him a Cabinet role, Bloomberg reported. Former US President Donald Trump has ruled out biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy as his running mate and is now considering offering him a Cabinet role, Bloomberg reported, citing sources familiar with the matter. Despite the fact that Trump allies see Ramaswamy as the perfect pick for the job, the ex-US President personally informed him that he would not be selecting him for the vice president position. However, he is thinking about appointing Indian-American Ramaswamy as Homeland Security Secretary. Trump doesn’t want to lose Ramaswamy as he possesses strong public speaking skills and may assist in deflecting criticism of stringent immigration policies, as per the report. Several leaders, including North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, former US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Representative Elise Stefanik, have left a remarkable impression on Trump and his team for possible Cabinet roles.Trump’s focus is on selecting a candidate who is not keen to earn limelight but to provide him immense support to win the race against incumbent President Joe Biden, according to those familiar with his thoughts. So far none of the potential running mates have wowed Trump due to which his list has only expanded rather than getting shorter, said his close aides.
