Vance wins the veepstakes…
Former President and 2024 GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump has selected Ohio Senator JD Vance as his Vice President. Trump insiders say the choice was made based on “loyalty.”
From The New York Post:
In the week leading up to Trump’s announcement, sources close to Trump’s campaign told The Post the former president was most likely to choose North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum or Sen. JD Vance (R-OH).
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) was also still in the running as a top option, the sources said, but had a smaller chance.
The three candidates had fervently supported Trump and had stumped for him across the country in hopes of possibly cinching the nomination, joining him at rallies and the debate against President Biden.
…
The former president has said that his VP choice won’t push the polls one way or another, telling Fox News in January that “it’s never really had that much of an effect on an election.”
But as Trump faces some concern over his age — albeit not as much as Biden — a younger candidate could put some voters at ease.
