Former President Trump won the New Hampshire Primary and is expected to be the Republican presidential nominee, so Michael asks today's Daily Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Who will Trump pick as a running mate? He offers the following choices: Katie Britt, Tucker Carlson, Byron Donalds, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nikki Haley, Kari Lake, Kristi Noem, Vivek Ramaswamy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Tim Scott, Elise Stefanik, JD Vance, Other. Listen to his thoughts here, then vote!

The US presidential primary season is underway and a once crowded Republican party field has narrowed in New Hampshire. That's left former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley to go head-to-head with her former boss, Donald Trump. But when the dust settles, will voters have déjà vu?
