Renacci was a terrible Candidate - Zero personality - I was at an Executive Supply Chain Conference in Columbus and he was invited to speak. He turned us down because he claimed to have a schedule conflict - he lost some support that day.
If those are the only ones Trump is considering, two of them make no sense to me - Vance and Rubio.
Vance makes no sense to me for two reasons - we need him in the Senate and Trump does not need Vance to win.
Rubio makes no sense to me because I believe Rubio is unpopular with a lot of Trump’s base, and I don’t thnk indepedents are that found of him either, and he best serves the GOP where he is, like Vance, a sitting U.S. GOP Senator. And my fear is that Trump would take Rubio for V.P. as a form of getting back at DeSantis, and taking Rubio for V.P. instead of DeSantis if only Desantis had not mounted his own campaign. In other word I fear Trump would pick Rubio because Trump has a thin skin. Does Trump NEED to pick someone from Florid to get the Florida vote? I don’t think so.
As for Doug Burgum, I just don’t think he will excite any expansion of Trump supporters, in any demographic group.
I think Trump’s V.P, pick should be like Trump - someone unexpected.
Correct. In 2028 the potential nominees need to compete for the honor. But historically the incumbent vice president has an advantage over the opposition, if only because he starts out with much more name recognition. But very few incumbent vice presidents actually win the term immediately after their President. When George Bush won in 1988, it was the first time since 1836 that that had happened.
