Donald Trump has won his first two primary ballots in Iowa and New Hampshire

A top US Pollster has shared his thoughts on who Donald Trump should pick as his running mate and possible Vice President.

The former US President is currently dominating the primary ballots ahead of the election in November.


After securing over 50 per cent of the votes in both Iowa and New Hampshire, Trump is predicted to win his third ballot in South Carolina in February.

Trump told the crowds after his latest win: "You know we won New Hampshire three times now, three. We win it every time. We win the primary. We win the generals. We won it and it’s a very, very special place to me."

As Trump storms the primaries, speculation has begun as to who he will choose as his running mate in the November election.

Trump has previously said he is in "no rush" to choose his running mate.

Trump told Fox News that it "won't have any impact at all" who he chooses.

He claimed his top candidate is a "very good person" and people "won't be that surprised", but he is only "25 per cent sure" he will pick them.

Speaking to GB News America, pollster David Paleologos explained who would be the ideal candidate for Trump to choose.

He explained to Patrick Christys: "Trump will be looking for somebody with immense loyalty. I only look at it demographically as a pollster.

"If I were advising, I think a Hispanic woman would be an interesting choice.

"It would automatically seal states like Nevada and Arizona, which are key swing states, and potentially cut into Biden's lead in New Mexico."

Paleologos admitted that there most likely "isn't someone who fits that bill" on Trump's shortlist of choices, but highlighted that a Hispanic woman has "never been on a ballot for President or Vice President".

He stated: "Hispanic women are the largest growing demographic in the United States.

"In the 2022 midterms, independent women split with independent men and voted Democratic rather than Republican, which is what independent men did.

"That problem has not been solved by Donald Trump, and of course he's going to have to figure out how to address it, either with a very good vice presidential selection or with issues that he can warm up to independent women."
