The Trump VP race is the contest from May until the Republican National Convention in early July 2024, during which Donald Trump selects his Vice President running mate for the 2024 presidential election. Frontrunners, for the following reasons, include:
- Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY)
- Sen. JD Vance (R-OH)
- Hon. Ben Carson
- Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND)
- Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC)
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).[1] 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).
