Presidential candidate and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry said on Thursday he thinks fellow Republican 2016 hopeful Carly Fiorina would make a good running mate.
Perry told Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo that Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO, is a “very, very capable smart, savvy businesswoman.”
“That’s the type of really savvy individual that I think that makes a lot of sense to have around you whether it’s in a cabinet or whether it’s as a running mate,” he said on Fox’s “Mornings with Maria.” “And by the way she was born in Texas, so that’s another plus for her.”
Perry and Fiorina were both at the bottom of a Quinnipiac poll released Thursday. Two percent of Republicans said they would vote for Perry, and 1 percent said they would vote for Fiorina.
