  • Trump's former staffer said that he would have been better off with Nikki Haley as his running mate.
  • Anthony Scaramucci said he thought Trump made a "really bad decision" choosing JD Vance as his VP.
  • However, Trump has publicly supported Vance, saying he's "doing a fantastic job."

Former President Donald Trump could've done much better than Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate, his former communications director said.

Speaking to CNN on Thursday, Anthony Scaramucci said that Trump stands a higher chance against Vice President Kamala Harris with Nikki Haley as his running mate.

"Vance is not doing a fantastic job. He knows that. We know that," Scaramucci said.
