Who Will Trump Select as His VP?
A Look at the Contenders
On night one of the Republican National Convention, it was announced that J.D. Vance would be Trump's VP pick. Vance is a freshman Ohio senator who has been a vocal supporter of Trump. He is also a close ally of Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist who is now a key figure in the alt-right movement.
Trump's Potential Picks
In addition to Vance, Trump has interviewed a number of other potential running mates, including former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. He has also met with a number of other potential picks, including former Vice President Mike Pence and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Trump has said that he is looking for a running mate who is "strong" and "smart" and who can help him "win the election." He has also said that he is looking for someone who can help him "unite the country."
Trump's Weaknesses
Trump has a number of weaknesses that a VP pick could help him address. These include his lack of experience in government, his divisive rhetoric, and his personal scandals.
A VP pick who could help Trump overcome these weaknesses would be someone who has experience in government, who is seen as a uniter, and who is not tainted by scandal.
The VP's Role
The vice president's role is to support the president and to take over if the president is unable to serve. The vice president also presides over the Senate and is a member of the National Security Council.
The vice president can play a significant role in shaping the president's agenda and in representing the United States abroad.
