Former senior Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway has urged the former president to pick a person of color for the vice president position.
On Monday, Conway pushed back on calls for the former president to “pick a woman” as his running mate, urging him to instead pick a “person of color.”
“The ‘pick a woman’ theory also runs counter to the fact that politics is not about biology or even chemistry but about math and science. Indeed, Mr. Trump beat Mrs. Clinton in 2016, snatching from her the all but certain title of first female president of the United States when a majority of voters were women,” Conway wrote.
She continued, highlighting that Biden has his own problems to deal with among male voters, and “as sure as the sun rises in the east, any woman Trump chooses will be denigrated as not enough of a real or relatable woman.”
Conway stated in The New York Times that Trump’s choice for vice president should be based on who can support him in winning the general election and securing a second term in office.
“With a crisis on the border, economic dissatisfaction, fears about crime, a parents’ rights renaissance, and multiple wars and threats across the globe, Mr. Trump’s deputy must be able to navigate chaos and challenges at home and abroad,” Conway wrote.
Additionally, she argued that Trump’s running mate would have to be able to “turn the tables and mitigate the damage” in regards to the abortion issue.
“Taking all of this into consideration, if I were advising Mr. Trump, I would suggest he choose a person of color as his running mate, depending on vetting all possibilities and satisfaction of procedural issues like dual residency in Florida,” Conway wrote. “Not for identity politics a la the Democrats, but as an equal helping to lead an America First movement that includes more union workers, independents, first-time voters, veterans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and African Americans.”
She listed Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), Trump Cabinet Official Ben Carson, Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy among the options that she finds in Trump’s best interest to consider for the role.

In what ways does Conway suggest a person of color as a running mate can mitigate potential damage and address sensitive issues such as abortion
Title: Kellyanne Conway Calls for a Person of Color as Trump’s Running Mate
Introduction:
In a recent opinion piece published by The New York Times, former senior Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway urged the former president to choose a person of color as his running mate for the vice president position. Conway emphasized the importance of selecting a candidate who can support Trump in winning the general election and securing a second term in office. This article will explore Conway’s arguments and the potential implications of such a decision for the America First movement.
Diversity in Politics:
Conway first addressed the notion of selecting a woman as Trump’s running mate, arguing that politics should not be based on biological or even chemical factors. She pointed out that Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016 happened when a majority of voters were women. By choosing a woman, Conway believes Trump’s selection may face denigration and criticism, leading to a lack of relatability among certain voters. Thus, Conway emphasizes the need for Trump to choose a person of color instead.
Navigating Chaos and Challenges:
Conway highlighted the diverse range of issues that the Trump administration faced during its tenure, including the crisis at the border, economic dissatisfaction, fears about crime, parental rights concerns, and multiple wars and threats across the globe. She emphasized that the vice president must be able to navigate these challenges both domestically and internationally. Conway’s perspective is that a person of color can bring a unique perspective and skill set to tackle these complex issues effectively.
Mitigating Damage and Addressing Abortion:
Another crucial factor Conway identified was the ability of Trump’s running mate to mitigate damage, particularly in relation to the abortion issue. Understanding the sensitivity and varying opinions surrounding this topic, Conway believes that a person of color may have a better chance of appealing to a wider audience and softening potential criticisms.
Potential Candidates:
Conway provided a list of potential candidates she believes would serve Trump’s best interests in terms of diversity and winning over key demographics. Among them are prominent figures such as Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, Representative Byron Donalds of Florida, former Trump Cabinet Official Ben Carson, Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Conway suggests that these individuals could help expand the America First movement by appealing to union workers, independents, first-time voters, veterans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and African Americans.
Conclusion:
Kellyanne Conway’s call for a person of color as Trump’s running mate is a strategic and calculated recommendation. By selecting a vice president with diverse ethnic backgrounds, Trump’s ticket could effectively connect with a broader range of voters, helping to solidify the America First movement. Conway’s arguments highlight the importance of considering a candidate’s ability to navigate complex challenges, mitigate damage, and appeal to crucial demographics. Ultimately, the decision rests with the former president, but Conway’s perspective offers valuable insight into the potential benefits of a more inclusive selection process.
