Former President Donald Trump’s Campaign Accelerates Vice Presidential Running Mate Vetting Process
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign is ramping up its search for a potential running mate as the Republican Party’s presidential nominating convention approaches. Sources confirmed to Fox News that documents are being requested from several prospective contenders for the 2024 GOP vice presidential nomination, signaling a new phase in the vetting process.
Among those being considered are North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, and Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. However, the list extends beyond these three names to include Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Tim Scott of South Carolina, Reps. Byron Donalds of Florida and Elise Stefanik of New York, and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
