Are We That Much Closer to Finding Out Who Trump's Running Mate Will Be?

The Republican National Convention is still a little over a month away, which is around the time former and potentially future President Donald Trump has said he would announce his running mate. Reports came in on Wednesday night from multiple outlets, however, that a list of candidates have been sent vetting paperwork.

Among the picks are names we've all heard before, including some Republican primary opponents from 2024 and even 2016. The top four names include North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, JD Vance of Ohio, and Tim Scott of South Carolina. 

There's also Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida on the list, though like Rubio, there could be constitutional concerns about Trump and his running mate being from the same state. Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York is also on the list, so there looks to at least be one woman under consideration. Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson is also on the list.
