Former President Donald Trump is likely to announce his running mate at the Republican National Convention in July in Milwaukee, Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Newsmax.
"President Trump has said that he thinks he may be ready to make that announcement at the Republican convention in Milwaukee later this summer. That's not set in stone. That's what he said. That's definitely subject to change. And who his vice president will be is up to President Trump," Leavitt told "American Agenda."
On Friday, The New York Times reported seven Republican candidates are on Trump's current shortlist: Dr. Ben Carson, Trump's former secretary of Housing and Urban Development; Sens. J.D. Vance of Ohio, Tim Scott of South Carolina, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, and Marco Rubio of Florida; Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York; and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.

Makes the convention more exciting; so I like the idea.
I think the right move is to name Greg Abbott. He owns the border issue, and that’s #1 on the voters’ minds this year.
I think you’re wrong but hopefully we won’t need to find out ...
That’s fair. I prefer Ron but Haley proved herself a very stubborn vote-getter. No one else came even close to 2nd place. Who do you prefer?
I prefer whoever Trump picks as long as it’s not haley.
Lol. It should be interesting.
Elise, any day, before Nikki.
I think Trump will surprise us all, he is skilled in being unpredictable.
It will be none of the potential VP’s we have hypothesized about.
Which is exactly why I’m pulling for it to be Ted Nugent.
I like her.
What a sage! /s
It’s so weird they never mention the date of this convention. I think it’s in July but they should have stated that in the title.
Here’s what I observed:
I saw Burgum ONCE, and he impressed me.
I thought he would make a good VP.
Trump liked him, BUT he wanted to see what he could do on the Campaign trail.
When two weeks ago, the group of politicians came out of the court room and announced their support for Trump, ...SOMETHING HAPPENED...and I noticed it. Burgrum, who I thought would be good...came out and made a lakeluster mimi statment that sounded ...FLAT.
HE, Burgrum, got NO SUPPORT, NO APPLAUSE, NO ENTHUSIAMS and where it disappointed me...I think it disappointed Trump.
I HAVE TO ADMIT THE ONE PERSON WHO REGISTERED ENTHUSISM WAS:
J.D. VANCE.
AND THAT IS WHO I WOULD SUGGEST, IS THE BEST CHOICE!!!!!
