If former President Donald Trump wants any help taking back the White House, an unlikely candidate has offered to step up to the plate: one of his ex-wives.
Marla Maples, Trump's second wife and mother to his daughter Tiffany, revealed in a new interview that she's willing to help her former husband's 2024 campaign and is even "open" to being his vice president.
"I'm ready. I am available if needed and I'm not sitting back anymore," Maples told the Evening Standard in her first interview in eight years. "I want to step out more, share more and not be afraid of positive or negative outcomes that come from speaking out."
While Trump is expected to soon announce his running mate, sources suggested to the British outlet that Maples has the ambition and could see herself as his vice president.
"Someone would have to ask my ex-husband about that," she said with a laugh when asked if it was true. "I'm open. I'm open to whatever way that I can serve."
"Right now everyone [in the Trump family] is just seeing how we can help," Maples added.
Maples, who was married to Trump from 1993 to 1999, said she's forgiven "anything from the past," adding that "marriages are challenging, especially when you play them out in the media."
The choice of who Trump will choose as his running mate has left his supporters and opponents on the edge of their seats as several top Republican names continue to be floated ahead of next week's Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Reports have named three potential Republicans as Trump’s choice, including Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R).
However, others still considered to be in the running include Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), and Ben Carson.
Trump has said he will announce his pick "right around the convention."
