Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) could become former President Donald Trump's running mate for 2024, but one thing he almost certainly won't do is attract Black voters to the ticket. That's according to Democratic strategist Karen Finney, who joined a CNN panel Friday.The comment comes as Trump meets with GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill, and hints that his ultimate pick for vice president is likely someone already in that room. "Byron Donalds, really out there making the case for himself on CNN this morning," commented anchor Jake Tapper.ALSO READ: ‘Harm Democrats’: Republican lawmakers practically giddy about Trump prison silver lining"And he was the one who made the same joke to me that it should be him," said Politico reporter Olivia Beavers. "He, Donalds, is a little bit more conservative and leaning into the populist wing, than I would say the Nikki Haley voters. He's Freedom Caucus. And he has had his moments of being a rebel in the House with Speaker McCarthy. Haley, I think, was a little bit more mainstream.""I would predict that if he names Byron Donalds, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will win because black voters are not going to vote for Byron Donalds at all," said Finney, bursting out laughing.Donalds, who has been making the rounds on the cable news circuit trying to boost his profile as Trump makes his running mate decision, came under fire this month for his remarks at a Black Republican event in Philadelphia that Black families were more stable and self-reliant under Jim Crow segregation. He subsequently defended his comments and resolutely denied that anything he said was a defense of Jim Crow.Watch the video below or at the link here.
