Donald Trump on Wednesday told a Fox News town hall that he knows wholl be his running mate if he becomes the GOP nominee for the 2024 election.

But the former president refused to name a name.

Well, I cant tell you that really. I mean, I know who its going to be, the four-times-indicted Republican front-runner told hosts Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier during the televised event in Des Moines, Iowa.

Can you give us a hint? Baier asked.

Well do another show sometime, replied Trump.

MacCallum asked Trump if hed be open to mending fences with any of his rivals in the GOP primary.

Oh, sure. I will, I will. Ive already started to like [Chris] Christie better, Trump responded, referring to the former New Jersey governors suspension of his campaign earlier in the day.

Christie used most of his run to trash Trump, his longtime friend.

Trump then acknowledged he couldnt imagine Christie joining him on the ballot.

I dont see it. I dont see it. That would be an upset, he said.

Multiple names have been touted to join Trump if he secures the nomination.

Trump himself suggested he was open to former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson for the role, although Carlson said it would be so unimaginable .

Others rumored for the job include South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders , former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Elise Stefakik (N.Y.).

Trumps primary rivals, Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.), former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy are also all reportedly in contention.
