Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is bullish on her prospects of becoming former President Trump’s running mate in 2024, former Trump aide Steve Bannon said, NBC News reports.
Greene is following a new playbook to gain legitimacy and influence within the Republican Party — and she’s hopeful her plan can catapult her on to Trump’s ticket and into the number two spot in the White House.
- The House republican with a history of incendiary remarks stood firmly behind House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in his drawn-out bid for the speakership.
“This is no shrinking violet, she’s ambitious — she’s not shy about that, nor should she be,” said Bannon, per NBC News.
- “She sees herself on the short list for Trump’s VP. Paraphrasing Cokie Roberts, when MTG looks in the mirror she sees a potential president smiling back,” Bannon said, referring to the late political reporter.
