Huckabee Sanders[edit]

It's pretty straightforward to me that she indicated [1] that she isn't interested in running for president. David O. Johnson (talk) 03:05, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kristi Noem[edit]

What is Kristi Noem doing in "Ruled out by Trump"? I tried googling this, and not once have I found a news article where Trump says he doesn't want Noem as his running mate. Plankton5165 (talk) 22:20, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically this article from Puck, which reads, "a source close to Trump told me that since landing on the states rights position, he has explicitly changed his V.P. calculus, removing from his shortlist governors from states without exceptions for abortion in cases of rape or incest, or any state with a so-called “heartbeat bill” before 10 weeks" and "'She has the most extreme positions, which is why some have never taken her seriously,' said a source familiar with the former president’s list"
Personally, I find it a bit dubious to include the claim that she is completely off the shortlist from someone only identified as "a source close to Trump", and not Trump himself. That source could be Melania Trump or it could be an ally of the other VP contenders (this article is quite positive of Rubio and Vance, for example).
Something also to note is the article specifically "disqualifies" other VP contenders (Sanders and Burgum) but only Noem is listed as "Ruled Out by Trump' by this wiki page. Weird. DaliaDippolito (talk) 09:49, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I take this back. More reports that she's off the list are coming out. Especially after everyone found out she shot a puppy to death. DaliaDippolito (talk) 23:32, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency please[edit]

Helloe @David O. Johnson:. We don't lower-case Vice President of the United States & President of the United States, in the intro. WP:JOBTITLES doesn't apply, as neither office is being preceded by either "the" or "#th". Note the intros in the other veep selection pages. GoodDay (talk) 16:21, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
