Rep. Byron Donalds, a Republican representative hailing from Florida, has openly expressed his willingness to assume the role of Vice President if the opportunity were presented to him by former President Donald Trump. Donalds, known for his active involvement in Trump’s campaign activities and his rising prominence within the Republican Party, holds the belief that accepting this position would empower him to make a significant and meaningful difference in the nation. Despite representing Florida, a state where Governor Ron DeSantis is also vying for the presidency, Donalds remains a steadfast supporter of Trump and was among the first to officially endorse the former President. Notably, numerous influential politicians from Florida have favored endorsing Trump over DeSantis.

According to Breitbart:

Donalds, 44, told Breitbart News he would “of course” be open to the job if Trump were to offer it. “If it came up? Oh yeah, of course, because you have the opportunity to do really powerful things for the country and really help shape the country,” Donalds said. “But I’m a member of Congress. I just do my job. I let everybody else speculate on the other stuff.”

The pair were captured ordering at a cheesesteak joint among a dense crowd of supporters, a familiar scene for the former president, whose signature skill is retail politicking. Donalds, who represents a portion of southwest Florida, also appeared in Fort Myers in April with Trump, where the former president bought everyone pizza.

“That stuff is cool. I’m not going to lie. … But listen, I’m about winning. I told the president, I told his team, ‘I’m behind you a hundred percent. It’s time to go win, and whatever it takes, I’m gonna go win,’” Donalds said.

Weeks prior to the Fort Myers trip, Donalds made headlines for endorsing Trump over his fellow Floridian and friend Gov. Ron DeSantis, who remains in a distant second place to Trump and has so far struggled to break through and truly threaten Trump’s prospects.

Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida has declared his readiness to take on the role of Vice President if presented with the opportunity by former President Donald Trump. Despite hailing from the same state as Governor Ron DeSantis, who is also competing for the presidency, Donalds’ allegiance lies firmly with Trump. His belief is that this position would enable him to significantly shape the nation. Numerous influential Floridian politicians seem to echo his stance, favoring Trump over DeSantis. Donalds has also made appearances alongside Trump in high-profile public outings, further solidifying their close alliance.
