According to a Fox News report, Donald Trump is preparing to announce his pick for Vice President. The announcement could come as early as this afternoon after the convention is gaveled into order at 1 p.m.
From Fox News:
A roll call for the vice presidential nominee is expected to occur following the roll call to formally nominate Trump, during the afternoon session.
Considered the frontrunners for the Republican vice presidential nomination are Sens. JD Vance of Ohio and Marco Rubio of Florida, and Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota. Others thought to be in contention are Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, and Reps. Elise Stefanik of New York and Byron Donalds of Florida.
The Trump campaign says the former president – following his brush with death – at the convention will call for unity in the face of tragedy instead of criticizing his political adversaries as he faces off with President Biden in a 2024 election rematch.
Senior Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller, in an interview Sunday night on Fox News’ “Jesse Waters Primetime,” said Trump “was dictating to us some additional things that he wants in his speech as he looks ahead to Thursday. And I think the tone is really going to impress people. He knows that this is a key moment. He’s the only one who can step up and lead in this time. And this country is desperate for leadership.”
