Trump Has Picked His Running Mate

Donald Trump has selected his running mate for the 2024 presidential campaign.

During a rally in Philadelphia on Saturday, Trump revealed that he has selected his vice presidential candidate. Sounds exciting, right? Well, there's a bit of a catch. Trump didn't reveal the identity of his pick, but gave a major hint.

When asked by NBC News during a Philadelphia campaign stop whether he has decided on his vice presidential pick, Trump responded, "in my mind, yeah," adding that the person will “most likely” be at Thursday’s debate against President Joe Biden.

"They'll be there," he continued. "I think we have a lot of people coming."

Trump said that “nobody knows” his choice yet. NBC News has previously reported that Trump is zeroing in on Doug Burgum, JD Vance and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., as possible top contenders for the slot.

Sources familiar with the selection process told NBC News that Burgum, the governor of North Dakota, and Vance, an Ohio senator, are considered the top two finalists. Rubio is still being considered, though a constitutional hiccup would require that either Trump or Rubio establish residency outside of Florida.

Trump senior adviser Brian Hughes said in a statement that the campaign's top criterion for selecting a running mate “is a strong leader who will make a great President for eight years after his next four year term concludes.”

Trump said that he'll announce his pick "right around the convention."

"Maybe a little before, but could be at the convention," Trump added. "But we’ll have some great people."

Gov. Doug Burgum (R-N.D.) has repeatedly been cited as a likely pick for Trump's running mate, but, in my opinion, he doesn't bring much to the table aside from loyalty.

Classic Trump, meaningless but gets attention. He’s really good at this part of campaigning.

I will vote for Pepe & Kermit, before I’ll vote for Haley, or Gabbard.
Trump has to be smarter than to even think about either of these two.

“is a strong leader who will make a great President for eight years after his next four year term concludes.”

if that was really true, the only person that would fulfill that criteria is Rand Paul ...

Wow. When you hear hoofbeats, try thinking horses, not zebras. How about steal the thunder, opened the moderators, and throw Biden off his tenuously-held game?

I also would like to see Stefanick as a VP pick. She is a brilliant campaigner and knows how to play the Congressional ropes.

Liz Stefanik has nmore on the go than any one else on the TRump list of possibles.She also has the capacity to be our first woman president.

Bergum is a newcomer. No trust from me.
In fact, I only trust one guy on this list, and that is Ben Carson. He is loyal, and he will not try to assassinate or do harm to our great leader.
