'Could do a great job': Mike Lindell pleads with Trump to put him 'in charge' of elections
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell pleaded with Donald Trump to put him "in charge" of U.S. elections if the former president is reelected.
Despite Steve Bannon's imprisonment, Lindell appeared on the War Room podcast on Tuesday with guest host Jack Posobiec.
Lindell was scheduled to speak at a Trump rally later in the day, the guest host noted.
"We all know that President Trump is announcing his vice president very soon here," Posobiec pointed out. "Mike Lindell, can you confirm, have you been asked by President Trump to be his running mate on the ticket for 2024?"
"No, I haven't," Lindell replied. "I have not been asked, you guys."
"And I will tell you this," he added, "if he asks me to do anything, I'm hoping it's when we get this, when he gets in, that he puts me in charge of our elections and where we can get our election platforms completely fixed."

Lindell argued that his so-called Election Crime Bureau should be rolled into the Department of Homeland Security.
"And so that's what I hope that he would do, would have a place for me there, because, in the last three years, I've lived and breathed it," he insisted. "I know what we need to have secure elections, and I really think I could do a great job of getting this country to a great place."
Last month, Lindell said God had given him a plan to "deputize" Trump voters in an effort to prevent election fraud.
