Trump narrows VP search to just SEVEN candidates as vetting papers are sent out to potential running mates - here's who makes the list and when he will announce his pick
Daily MailDonald Trump has narrowed his search for a vice presidential candidate to just seven contenders and has begun requesting information from each. Carson, for instance, served on the then-president's cabinet, but has since kept his distance Sen. Tim Scott is also reportedly being considered, after he too lost to Trump in the primary late last year Also sent vetting forms was Stefanik and JD Vance, both of whom have been steadily rising though the GOP ranks for the past few years Stefanik, along with figures like Vance and Donalds, have been steadily rising though the ranks of the GOP for years, each aligning themselves with the potential two-time president at some point in the process. Burgum recently bowed out of the GOP race as well, while Donalds threw in the towel in his quest to be the next Speaker of the House late last year Unlike the others, Carson - seen here with Trump during the GOP debate in September 2015 - has somewhat distanced himself from the currently shrouded VP field, completely absent from Trump's campaign trail Also absent has been fellow conservative Rubio, who Trump helped secure a third term as Florida's governor back in 2022. During a phone interview Tuesday night, Trump was asked if he were close to making a decision as to a running mate - leading him to compliment Vance, Rubio and Burgum in particular He also hailed Scott, saying that while he 'thought didn't run as good of a race as he's capable of running for himself. Meanwhile, Trump is still five points ahead of President Joe Biden in the key swing state of Georgia, according to the first survey of the state's voters after the ex-president's guilty verdict in the hush money case When third-party candidates were factored in, the presumptive Republican nominee was still heading for a win.
