Former President Donald Trump, the likely Republican presidential nominee, is choosing only three possible running mates, according to a new report from CNN.
Following a video of Trump saying that he had already made up his mind about who he would pick but hadn’t told anyone yet, Treene said she thought he had narrowed down his original list to a much smaller group, Mediaite reported.
“There’s so much speculation right now and a lot of anticipation over who Donald Trump is going to ultimately select. And this is the language we’ve heard Donald Trump say for a while, he’s often said that he knows who his choice is going to be,” CNN’s Alayna Treene.
“However, from my conversations with Donald Trump’s team, they’re still not completely, or they haven’t come to a formal decision yet on who he is going to select as his running mate. What I do know is that he has really narrowed his list to three top contenders: That is Doug Burgum, J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio, all people that they believe currently are at the top of his list,” Treene added.
“But of course, this is Donald Trump we’re talking about. Whenever we try to predict who a candidate will pick for VP, it’s always a difficult task. It’s even harder with Donald Trump. And again, when I talk to his team, they say he is someone who changes his mind every day based on who he sees on TV, who he speaks with over the phone. And so until he formally makes his announcement, Donald Trump can change his mind up until the last minute,” she continued.
The former president declined to name the pick but said he had decided who it would be when he spoke to reporters before his rally in Philadelphia on Saturday.
