From the New York Post: Former President Donald Trump will announce his vice presidential pick Monday, he told Fox this morning.
Trump has long teased who his running mate will be and has yet to reveal who it is, or specifically comment on who is strongly in consideration. Sources close to the Trump campaign previously told The Post that Sen. JD Vance of Ohio and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum are his top contenders, as well as Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida.
His announcement lines up with the first day of the Republican National Convention, and comes two days after a gunman shot Trump in the ear at a Pennsylvania rally, just missing his head.
Fox News host Bret Baier broke the news Monday morning, saying he had just gotten off the phone with Trump, as the former president reacted after a Florida judge just tossed out the DOJ’s classified documents case against him.
Also, Fox News reported that senior GOP officials indicated to Baier that a running mate announcement could occur soon after the convention is gaveled into order at 1 p.m. ET.
“It will be part of the hooplah today kicking things off,” officials reportedly said.
