Trump, in a relaxed manner, mentioned that he knows the person, but refrained from revealing the name. Bret Baier, another moderator, jokingly asked for a “hint,” and Trump suggested they would reveal more information on a future show.
Pressed by MacCallum about reconciliation with previous competitors, Trump indicated he was willing, jokingly mentioning his growing appreciation for Chris Christie. The “Christie for Vice President” suggestion sparked talk of a possible upset, even though the former New Jersey governor had dropped out of the primary race just days earlier. Trump currently leads Republican polls by a significant 52 points at 65%, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is in second place at 13%, according to a Morning Consult poll.
