Donald Trump muses about Ramaswamy as VP: ‘He’d be very good’

Could The Donald and “Da Vek” share the same ticket?

Former President Donald Trump has signaled that he would be open to tapping biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy as his running mate.

Trump, 77, lavished praise on his 38-year-old rival Tuesday, hailing his renegade politics and willingness to commend the 45th president’s administration.

“Well, I think he’s great. Look, anybody that said I’m the best president in a generation … I have to like a guy like that,” Trump told the Blaze TV’s Glenn Beck.

Ramaswamy dubbed Trump “the best president of the 21st century” during the last week’s Republican primary debate and has characterized his candidacy as a bid to take the former president’s policies “to the next level.”

Throughout his campaign, Ramaswamy has been one of Trump’s staunchest defenders against the four indictments leveled against him — even vowing to pardon the former president on his first day in office if elected.

“He’s a smart guy. He’s a young guy. He’s got a lot of talent. He’s a very, very, very intelligent person,” Trump added Tuesday. “He’s got good energy, and he could be in some form of something. I tell ya, I think he’d be very good. I think he’s really distinguished himself.”

Ramaswamy drew widespread attention and became one of the most-searched 2024 Republican contenders after the debate at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum.

Trump is famous for rhetorically carpet-bombing his rivals, particularly those gaining momentum or encroaching on his time in the limelight.

Still, Trump had a word of caution for Ramaswamy, who has stumbled into controversy over his policy prescriptions for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine.

“He’s starting to get out there a little bit. He’s getting a little bit controversial,” Trump said. “I got to tell him: ‘Be a little bit careful. Some things you have to hold in just a little bit, right?’” Trump warned.

Over the weekend, Ramaswamy drew flack for likening comments made by Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) to “wizards of the grand KKK.” Pressley had supposedly said, “we don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice.”

Ramaswamy’s campaign hinted that he has no plans to temper his rhetoric.

“If I’m a betting woman, I wouldn’t expect Vivek to hold back much!” a spokeswoman told The Post Wednesday.

At the moment, Trump is far out in front of the 2024 GOP pack with 53.6% support, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 13.5%, and Ramaswamy at 7.3%, according to the latest RealClearPolitics polling average.
