Former President Trump is currently back in the courtroom as his lawyers are cross-examining Michael Cohen, the final prosecution witness. Several Republicans, including Doug Burgum and J.D. Vance, have shown support by attending the proceedings. Vance clarified that he has not discussed becoming Trump's vice president.
Lee Zeldin, a former New York Republican Congressman and attorney, emphasized the importance of Republicans being present in the courtroom to provide accurate insights to the public. He highlighted the need for supporters to share their observations directly, especially since the proceedings are not broadcasted in real-time.
Zeldin also discussed the significance of selecting a capable vice president who could seamlessly transition into the presidency if needed. He noted that while perfection may be unattainable, there are numerous qualified candidates within the Republican party.
When asked about potential VP candidates, Zeldin emphasized the importance of shared values, work ethic, and the ability to effectively communicate and implement the President's agenda. He expressed confidence in Trump's ability to choose the best running mate based on these criteria.
Regarding his own potential involvement in the courtroom proceedings, Zeldin expressed willingness to attend and communicate with the public as needed. He reiterated the importance of supporters engaging with the media to provide a comprehensive perspective on the ongoing legal proceedings.
