It was reported on June 5, 2024, that the Trump campaign requested records for vetting purposes from all of the above list plus Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR).<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/05/trump-vice-president-picks-records-00161936</ref> But the [[Florida]] residents (Donalds and Rubio) are ineligible because the VP must reside in a state different from the president, and Sen. Cotton is likely to wait to run for president in 2028 with [[neoconservative]] support. So the real race is down to five first listed above, and primarily the top two (Stefanik and Vance). | It was reported on June 5, 2024, that the Trump campaign requested records for vetting purposes from all of the above list plus Rep.
