In a campaign stop in the Bronx, New York, former President Donald Trump named some of his possible vice presidential picks, a sign the list may be shortening.
In an interview with News 12 New York, Trump singled out Dr. Ben Carson, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) as top options on a list that has continued to grow.
“We have so many,” Trump said when asked about picks for vice president. “You could take people like Ben Carson, people like Marco Rubio, or J.D. Vance. I mean, there’s so many. Elise is doing a fantastic job, but I could go on for quite a long time. We have many people who would do a really fantastic job.”
When asked about the timeline, Trump said he would make a decision “sometime during the convention,” which is when presidential nominees typically announce their vice president. Trump has floated all of these names as picks for various reasons.

It will be a surprise pick, not any of the four he mentioned.
I wonder how Rubio polls with Hispanics nationwide.
I have a very hard time believing that Trump would change residence to pick Rubio; why not pick the much better qualified DeSantis (who really can’t refuse)?
Dr Ben Carson would be an inspired choice.
I think so too.
Of those four, I would like it to be Carson as well
He sure would.
So would I.
I love Ben Carson, but he’s far too nice to stand up under the Democrat onslaught. I think Marco Rubio can handle it, but so far Trump is the only one I’ve seen who never stops fighting, never gives in, never gives an inch. Whoever he picks better be a fighter like that.
Of course, Trump could honestly say that the Dims have forced him to practically live in NY during their sham trial.
Absolutely!
Yeah, I really like Carson. And he isn’t a career politician, since he would be the front runner for 2028.
one for each of his upcoming terms, eh?
Too old.
Whoever he picks needs to be able to take the MAGA baton and run with it in 2028. At that point, Carson will be 77.
I agree
Trump may be forced to have NY residence.
So does Rubio, duh.
Glad he didn’t utter birdbrain HALEY
