The grand drama of picking a VP candidate for former President Donald Trump is in full swing, and the suspense is more gripping than a Netflix thriller. According to recent buzz, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum are the frontrunners for the coveted spot. And let’s be honest, the chattering class can’t get enough of it.
The New York Post claims it’s essentially a two-horse race between Vance and Burgum. A few other names are being tossed around like Senator Marco Rubio from Florida, but even insiders admit his chances are slimmer than a vegan at a Texas BBQ. Meanwhile, heavyweights like Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina and former HUD Secretary Ben Carson don’t seem to be losing any sleep over not making the list.
This is why J.D. Vance should be President Trump’s vice president.

Now, some political fortune-tellers are always out there with their crystal balls. One such source, described ominously yet amusingly as an insider, believes the VP slot will land in the lap of either Vance, Rubio, or Burgum. But their money is leaning more towards Vance and Burgum. What’s life without a bit of competition, right? To add another layer of intrigue, a GOP strategist apparently said the same thing, solidifying their status as the dynamic duo of VP contenders.
Trump, being the master showman that he is, will unveil his decision on July 15. Until then, the media will keep speculating, and the American public will keep guessing. According to The Washington Post, Trump might still have a few tricks up his sleeve, even considering names outside the top three. This list includes the likes of Senator Tom Cotton, Representatives Elise Stefanik and Byron Donalds, and, of course, even some wildcard picks.
What does all this mean for the GOP? Well, according to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, these politicians owe a big thank-you note to Trump whether they get picked or not. The mere association with his name has boosted their profiles higher than Hunter Biden’s legal bills.
In the end, whoever steals the VP crown will need to hit the ground running. A Trump advisor says the chosen one must be ready to step into the role from day one. The anticipation is palpable, the stakes are high, and the circus continues. For Trump supporters, it’s just another thrilling episode in the never-ending American politics saga. Grab the popcorn, folks.
