Mr. Trump may choose a woman as his running mate.
Mr. Trump said he has not yet given much thought to who he would choose as his running mate if he becomes the Republican Party's nominee for the 2024 US presidential election.
However, he preferred the "concept" of having a female running mate, according to an interview aired on NBC News on September 17.
"Is he perhaps leaning towards a female candidate?" asked host Kristen Welker.
"I like the concept, but we'll choose the best," said Trump. However, the former President said he didn't want to think too much about the possibility of choosing a ticket at this time.
"I don't think now is the right time. I want to win," he told moderator Welker.
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem recently appeared on stage to endorse Trump's presidential campaign at a rally in the state earlier this month. This has fueled speculation that Noem could be a strong candidate to run on the same ticket as Trump.
Trump himself confirmed that the governor was a candidate he might consider, praising her as a "great" politician.
In addition, the former US leader said that he opposes the idea of an age limit for presidential candidacy, but he supports conducting credentials tests for candidates running for the White House.
Trump also confirmed that he left a message for Joe Biden when he left the White House in January 2021, following the tradition of presidents leaving after their term ends.
"I left him (Joe Biden) a message. I think it was a very kind message. I thought a lot before writing it down. I wish him great things (as president), even if it's really bad politically ," Trump replied when asked about the content of the message.
