With just over four months left for the general elections in the United States that will take place on November 5, uncertainty remains about the vice president that Donald Trump could choose to accompany him on the ticketamong which different names from the Republican Party are heard.
As in his 2016 campaign, when he announced Mike Pence as his running mate days before the Republican National Convention, Trump would apparently apply the same strategy for this year. Among the candidates being evaluated by the former president of the United States is he Florida Senator Marco Rubio, he South Carolina Senator Tim Scott and he North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum.

In the next weeks, Trump will select the candidates he considers most compatible with his government plan to reduce the listin which the governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, who in previous months was the most likely, has already lost consideration.
The governor of Arkansas suffered the same fate, Sarah Sanders, who lost her place because He did not support the former president from the beginningaccording to media information CBS News. The governor showed her support for the Republican candidate at a campaign meeting in Hialeah, Florida, in November 2023, a year after the launch of the candidacy.
The main candidates to accompany Donald Trump as vice president in the formula
Of the legislators most likely to stay in office Senator Scott’s name is revealedwho in his interviews evaded questions regarding the possibility of being Trump’s running mate, but He was one of the first to support him after abandoning his own candidacy before the New Hampshire primary.
Along these lines, Scott, who is the most valued politician from the African-American community in the party, could help the Republican space to accumulate votes from the aforementioned sector, and He was defined by Trump as “a man of faith, courage and convictiona man who fought for opportunity like no one ever would and for school choice and also to take care of historically black colleges.”
In a similar position is North Dakota Governorwho also renounced his own candidacy and was the first of the former 2024 presidential candidates to officially endorse Trumpwho highlighted him as “one of the best governors in the country.”
For his part, Rubio, who was a campaign rival in the 2016 elections, is one of the alternatives who could contribute with votes from Latino communities, and worked alongside the former president on the expansion of the Child Tax Credit and sanctions against Venezuela and Cuba during his mandate.
With a little less consideration comes the fight New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, one of Trump’s most avid supportersand who played a key role in the defense of the impeachment trial in 2019. According to the aforementioned media, Trump sees Stefanik as a possible running mate for the November 5 elections.
