(AP) Donald Trump says Ohio Sen. JD Vance will be his vice presidential pick.
He says on his Truth Social Network that, “After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio.”
reported earlier:
Former President Donald Trump has made his decision on his vice presidential pick and will be unveiling his choice Monday afternoon on the first day of the Republican National Convention, according to a person familiar with the plans.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum have both been informed that they are not Trump’s pick, according to people familiar with their conversation, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity before the formal announcement.
That leaves Ohio Sen. JD Vance as the only known candidate on Trump’s shortlist who has not received a call, though Trump has been known to throw curveballs and surprises.
