Former President Donald Trump has already said that he knows who his running mate will be in the 2024 presidential election. But a few weeks before the Republican National Convention, a big question remains: who will it be?
In recent presidential election years, the choice of vice president has rarely made a difference in the polls. However, this year it is being followed more closely, only because of the ages of the two main presidential candidates, but also because of the number of insecure electorates that still exist in many key states.
Trump, who is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has said in the past that he plans to officially announce his vice presidential pick at the time of the Republican convention, which will take place July 15-18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. To nominate a vice presidential candidate, he has turned the race into something of a television truth contest, with Republican surrogates taking to the airwaves in recent weeks to listen to and promote the former president’s campaign.

Trump’s election could also have a massive impact on American politics for years to come. The former president can only serve one more term, so his vice presidential nominee could be seen as the obvious heir to Trump’s political move.
