Former President Donald Trump has narrowed down his list of potential running mates to three candidates. However, following President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance, some GOP consultants and Republicans close to Trump believe that the VP selection process should be reevaluated. There are speculations that Biden may step aside, potentially leading to a younger and more diverse candidate taking his place. In response to this uncertainty, some GOP insiders suggest that Trump should consider someone like Marco Rubio or J.D. Vance as his running mate.
The final contenders for Trump’s VP pick are reported to be Rubio, Vance, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. Despite the debate performance, some Trump campaign officials believe that Biden’s replacement would not influence Trump’s decision. Trump has stated that he knows who his running mate will be and that the announcement will be made at the Republican National Convention in July. The campaign may wait to see how the situation with Biden unfolds before making a decision.
Overall, Trump’s campaign is considering the impact of a potential change in the Democratic ticket and how it may affect their VP selection. Some believe that Trump may feel more emboldened to choose a candidate he personally likes, rather than someone who strategically adds to the ticket. With uncertainty surrounding Biden’s future, Trump’s decision may play a crucial role in shaping the dynamics of the 2024 presidential race.
