Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said Sunday that she wouldn’t “want to be a burden” by being the running mate to presumptive GOP nominee, Donald Trump.
Palin said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that she was “such a realist” that some people might object to her being Trump’s running mate. CNN host countered back and asked if she would take Trump’s call to discuss the possibility of being his vice president.
“I wouldn’t want to be a burden on the ticket and I recognize that in many many eyes I would be that burden,” Palin said. “So you know I just want the guy to win I want America to win and I don’t know if I would be the person who would be able to help him win Jake.”
Palin said that she is “pretty much as vetted as anybody in the country could be vetted already” and that people know what she stands for. Palin endorsed Trump in the middle of January and has since appeared alongside him on the campaign trail.
