Former President Donald Trump recently commented on potential issues regarding his choice of running mate, citing concerns over North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum's signing of a near-total abortion ban in the state. Trump acknowledged the ban as a significant stance taken by the state, which could pose challenges in the selection process.
Regarding the possibility of selecting Sen. Marco Rubio as his vice president, Trump noted that Rubio's Florida background could complicate matters due to electoral considerations. Trump highlighted the need to address potential complications related to delegates and resignations in such scenarios.
Trump also addressed inquiries about Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance's facial hair, expressing his positive opinion on Vance's appearance and humorously comparing him to a young Abraham Lincoln. Reports from Vanity Fair had previously speculated on whether Vance's beard could impact his chances of being chosen as Trump's running mate.
