Trump has given no real indication whom he might pick. There have been suggestions that Trump might want to choose a female running mate to sweep up women voters he lost in the last election, or a person of color to broaden the Republican ticket's appeal.
Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem are two other potential female picks mentioned for Trump, but they received 1 percent and 3 percent, respectively, of backing from Trump supporters in the survey.
Other names who have been cited include Ramaswamy and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, the first Black elected senator from the South since Reconstruction who dropped out of the presidential race in November but was not a listed candidate in the poll.
One person who has also been named as a potential Trump running mate is former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, with 5 percent of Trump supporters naming him as their preferred choice.
However, Carlson poured cold water on the idea, telling SiriusXM's Megyn Kelly that such a move is "just so unimaginable."
"That's not how my brain works. I've never done anything like that. I can't imagine spending time with politicians," Carlson said.
