Former President Donald Trump has laid out the most concrete timeline yet for when he might select his running mate for the 2024 Republican ticket.
“I’ll be picking, but probably not too much before the convention, which I happen to be having in the great state of Wisconsin,” the presumptive GOP nominee told FOX 6 Milwaukee during a campaign visit to the battleground state Wednesday.
The Republican National Convention will be held in Milwaukee July 15-18. Traditionally, the vice presidential nominee will address the delegates on the penultimate night of the gathering.
A source familiar with the conversation previously told The Post that biotech mogul Vivek Ramaswamy is almost definitely out of the running for VP, while allies of the former president said South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has “no shot” at the position after she recounted a 20-year-old story about killing her dog.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis also ruled himself out as Trump’s running mate in a February call with donors.
Bloomberg reported Thursday that the former president had narrowed his choices to four top contenders: North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Republican Sens. JD Vance of Ohio, Marco Rubio of Florida and Tim Scott of South Carolina.

Marco Rubio????????????
Rubio would be the worst choice possible. If he chose Rubio it would be just to spite DeSantis.
No way. If he chooses Rubio he loses his base. I’m still hoping for Burgum.
JD Vance. The others are worthless.
Don’t bet on it. It sounds like a head fake.
i would like to see Habba Habba as VP.
as anything actually... specifically, my girlfriend.
Tim Scott devolved into a RINO mentored by Miss Lindsey.
Not just no.
But...HELL NO!!!!!
So I doubt this list means much.
And no VP candidate who is not eligible to be president. Rubio’s parents were not U.S. citizens.
UGH!!
“Marco Rubio????????????”
Yeah, WTF?
No one from Florida will be picked. Scott has issues. It will either be Vance or Burgum
de Santis recounted his recent meeting with DJT very positively. i’m not sure he is out of the running, and expect DJT will take as much time as possible to decide, as events are moving fast on the national stage. i would bet on a surprise, not some of the stale names trotted out regularly.
None of the above.
why? DJt can easily register at Bedminster address. i think Cheney changed his addy right before R convention as he and Bush were TX residents
Good. I think her political career may be over at this point.
That said...
God, please don't let it be Marco Rubio.
How does Bloomberg know this?
The politics of the situation are what they are. I don’t see any of these helping close the suburban women gap
Vivek is the only one with the brains and guts to go after the swamp.
I'd task him with just that.
