While Cotton is reportedly being considered for the position, there are others whose names have been mentioned as potential vice presidential candidates, including senators J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, and Tim Scott, as well as representatives Elise Stefanik and Byron Donalds, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson.
