Former President Donald Trump is beginning to focus on his running mate shortlist and has also picked out a few names for some key cabinet positions, a report claimed.

As the presumptive Republican nominee, Trump is not waiting until the July 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to begin making personnel designs for a second term, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.

According to the outlet, which cited numerous sources in Trump’s inner circle, the country’s 45th president has eliminated venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy as a potential vice president but does want to offer him a vital role in his administration if he is elected in November.

Bloomberg reporters Jennifer Jacobs and Justin Sink claimed Trump has already informed Ramaswamy he will not be selected as a running mate.

Sources said Trump’s closest aides see the 38-year-old as a natural choice to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

“Some Trump allies see Ramaswamy as ideal for the job because they say he excels at public speaking and, as an Indian-American son of an immigrant, could neutralize criticism of sweeping immigration restrictions,” Jacobs and Sink reported.
