The Trump campaign has begun vetting vice presidential contenders for the former president — and several notable names are on his short-list, The Post has learned.
Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and Tim Scott (R-SC) have all recently exchanged varying degrees of vetting documents with Trump’s campaign, a source familiar told The Post Wednesday.
As have Reps. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Republican North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and former Trump administration Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, the source said.

A Trump campaign official told The Post that the 77-year-old former president has not settled on who he’ll tap to be on the ticket with him in November — or when he’ll make that decision.
...
Earlier this month, Trump indicated in an interview with News12 that his final decision on a running mate would come “probably not too much before” the start of the Republican National Convention, where he will be formally named the GOP nominee.
“...
“We have many people who would do a fantastic job,” [Trump said] ...

Trump prefers being his own pit bull, so that usual VP quality may not be as important this time round.
I can see every one of those names being secretary positions, if he is misdirecting for VP.
“Very fake news.”
Elise Stefanik. Trump’s real problem is white people. He is on track for the worst showing among whites for a Republican presidential candidate in 60 years.
I didn’t receive my vetting paperwork yet. Maybe its still in the mail.
Trump needs to find someone who is loyal to him as the first requirement. RINOs who certified the 2020 Big Steal without question should all be excluded.
Elise Stefanik has more testosterone than the rest of them.
This release may simply be a trial balloon to look for reaction.
Neither Stefanik nor Burghum are social conservatives. Red flag for me.
Maybe, but she has not experience sufficient to be president. A light weight.
It’s not that Trump has a problem with Whites, it’s that the parties are changing. Whites are becoming more Democratic and Blacks, Hispanics and Asians are becoming more Republican. The Democratic Party has done a magnificient job getting Whites to hate themselves for being White.
Probably as I don't see any has VP, except Burgum, who doesn't offer anything to the ticket.
Stefanik is pure Rino. She talks a good game, but votes with the rinos.
I’m still hoping for Vivek. An outsider, successful businessman, highly intelligent and articulate, and loves smacking down the criminal left.
Sarah Palin?
Michael Pence.
Can you imagine Trump picking Pence again?! No way!
Sure she does. She just voted to keep FISA intact.
Does she have less “experience” than Obama?
Why not Jack Kemp? Equally useless.
DeSantis, Mike Flynn, or Kevin Roberts.
DJT needs to pick an articulate, no nonsense outsider, who has no ties to the Deep State.
If DJT picks a Beltway lightweight, the globalist cabal will assassinate him to get to a pliable VP successor.
Donald Trump needs to focus on this hard fact.
I think Carson has an excellent chance of being picked. Wouldn’t hurt in Detroit.
