Donald Trump has narrowed the list…
According to a report from The New York Post, vetting paperwork has gone out to Vice Presidential hopefuls Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), Senator JD Vance (R-OH), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson.
The vetting process has been in progress for the last month.
From The New York Post:
A Trump campaign official told The Post that the 77-year-old former president has not settled on whom he’ll tap to be on the ticket with him in November — or when he’ll make that decision.
“Anyone claiming to know who or when President Trump will choose his VP is lying, unless the person is named Donald J. Trump,” campaign spokesman Brian Hughes said in a statement.
In May, Trump indicated in an interview with News12 that his final decision on a running mate would come “probably not too much before” the start of the Republican National Convention, where he will be formally named the GOP nominee.
The convention runs from July 15 to 18, and traditionally nominees for vice president are confirmed on the penultimate night of the event.
