As the 2024 election approaches, former President Donald Trump is actively vetting candidates to potentially join him on the Republican ticket. Vetting materials have been sent to several individuals, including North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance. Other contenders being considered are South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and New York Rep. Elise Stefanik.
Trump has been vocal about his search for a running mate, often seeking opinions from allies, donors, and members of his Mar-a-Lago resort. He has publicly praised many of the potential picks at campaign rallies and in interviews.
