During the week of the presidential debate, attention shifted towards former President Donald Trump's potential vice-presidential pick. Speculation arose as Trump's team prepared for a rally at his Doral resort in Miami on July 9, coincidentally close to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's home. Rubio, along with Ohio Sen. JD Vance and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, are said to be top contenders for the role.
Despite intense secrecy surrounding the selection process, there is anticipation that the Miami event may serve as the platform for Trump's announcement. However, even Trump's closest allies claim to be unaware of his final decision. Trump himself has indicated that he will make a decision before or during the Republican convention in Milwaukee later this month.
Trump's spokesperson emphasized that only Trump knows the timing and choice for his vice-presidential pick, highlighting the former president's discernment in the selection process. The possibility of delaying the announcement until the convention has been raised following President Joe Biden's lackluster debate performance, which has raised concerns about his fitness for office.
As Trump takes a break at his Bedminster golf resort, his campaign staff has been advised to enjoy the 4th of July weekend. The ongoing speculation and anticipation surrounding Trump's vice-presidential pick continue to dominate political discussions, underscoring the significance of this decision for the upcoming election.
