Relevant transcript
Bartiromo: Mr. President, when will you be announcing who your VP is?
Trump: Not for a while. We have so many great people in the Republican Party.
Bartiromo: What criteria are you using to identify who your running mate is?
Trump: Always it’s got to be one thing: It’s got to be who is going to be a good president… it’s got to be number one.
Bartiromo: Who is (going to be) your running mate?
Trump: I have a lot of good people. We have a lot of really good people.

Trump: You know, I called Tim Scott, and I told him you’re a much better candidate for me than you are for yourself.
When I watched Tim, he was fine, he was good, but he was very low-key…I watched him in the last week standing up for me, fighting for me. And I said: you are a much better person for me than you are for yourself.
He’s been a real tiger. He’s been incredible.
Kristi Noem has been incredible fighting for me. She said: I would never run against him because I can’t beat him. That was a very nice thing to say.
Bartiromo: What about this story that your team reached out to RFK Jr.?
Trump: Never happened. That was a false story.

Given earlier rumors, the naming of Scott and Noem as possible Trump running mates is not shocking. The noteworthy portion of the conversation that Trump devoted to complimenting Scott—and particularly to applauding Scott’s spirited support of him—stands out.
Has Trump selected his nominee yet?
I want Greg Abbott, Texas Governor for VP.
