This week on Ring of Fire!

The hunt for Donald Trump's running mate is on, and a former aide to the ex-president believes that Trump has already made up his mind. On a recent episode of The View, Alyssa Farah Griffin said that she believes he'll pick Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders as his running mate, even as speculation swirls around Elise Stefanik. Huckabee Sanders has proven herself to be a loyal Trump stooge, but she doesn't bring much else to the table.

Ron DeSantis announced on Sunday that he was dropping out of the presidential race, and both the Left and the Right are thrilled about this announcement. Both sides came together in a rare moment of harmony to mock DeSantis for running one of the worst campaigns that we've seen in modern American politics. His fall from grace was truly a sight to behold.

Even if Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis engaged in an improper relationship with a fellow prosecutor, most legal experts agree that it will have no actual impact on the criminal charges against Donald Trump or any of his co-defendants. That doesn't mean that the allegations and investigation aren't going to have an impact on the case - the experts also agree that this is likely going to cause delays and possibly even a change in venue and prosecutors, depending on the results of the investigation.

At a recent campaign event in New Hampshire, Donald Trump confused the crowd by going on an awkward rant about forts. It wasn't just that he was off-topic, it was the fact that he literally kept repeating the same few sentences over and over again. This could be a symptom of something seriously wrong with the former president, especially in the context of all of his other recent mental flubs. The media needs to pay more attention to Trump's obvious cognitive decline.

All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!
