As Donald Trump is set to be declared the Republican candidate officially, the question being asked is, who will choose his running mate? The Republican National Convention will be held in Milwaukee July 15-18, when the vice presidential nominee is most likely to be declared. He is also likely to address the delegates on the penultimate night of the gathering. Trump declared the name of then-Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his running mate in the final week before the convention last time. It is expected that he will follow a similar timeline this time. But who will be named as the running president of the Republican candidate?

Will Vivek Ramaswamy be running mate?

Quoting an unnamed source, ‘New York Post’ has reported that biotech mogul Vivek Ramaswamy of Indian origin is leading the pack of potential candidates. His position was bolstered after South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem created controversy by recounting a 20-year-old story about killing her dog.

Ron DeSantis

Besides, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis told the donors in February that he would not be in the fray.

Top contenders

According to ‘Bloomberg’, Donald Trump has narrowed his choices to four top contenders. They are North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Republican Sens. JD Vance of Ohio, Marco Rubio of Florida and Tim Scott of South Carolina.Replying to the ‘Bloomberg’ report, senior Trump adviser, Chris LaCivita, took to social media platform X. She wrote, “Notice to reporters: you should not make these kind of assumptions and then commit them to paper … they will only come back to bite you in the ass.”Another senior adviser Brian Hughes said in a statement, “Anyone claiming to know who or when President Trump will choose his VP is lying, unless the person is named Donald J. Trump.”
