Joni Ernst Keeps VP Door Open
When asked about the possibility of being considered a candidate for vice president, Ernst laughed, but didn’t reject the notion outright.
“Well, I think that's -- that's nice,” she said. “Did my mother pay you to say that?”
With the vice presidential selection process a ways off, candidates wanting to win the White House are concentrating on the early voting states, including Iowa, the first electoral test for those seeking the presidency. Ernst cited President Ronald Reagan when asked what it will take to win the critical Iowa Caucuses.
“We have to have somebody that will express conservative views of course and I’m looking for somebody that is very Reaganesque,” she said. "Someone that can reach all aspects of our voting population here in America."
She also defended the relevance of the seemingly beleaguered Iowa Straw Poll, which was won last election cycle by former Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and is being skipped this year by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
