Condoleezza Rice for Trump’s VP?
While rumor has it that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is being considered for Donald Trump’s vice president or chief executive, she claims to have no interest in attaining political office again.
“Dr. Rice has repeatedly said in past cycles as well as this one, she’s not interested in being vice president,” Stanford University said in a statement on Friday. “She’s happy at Stanford and plans to stay.”
Rice has been enjoying her time as a Stanford University political science professor.
