<p>When asked by <a href="https://x.com/NBCPolitics/status/1804865812794089959" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>. if he decided on his vice president, Trump responded, &#8220;In my mind, yeah.&#8221;</p>

<p>Trump said &#8220;nobody knows&#8221; who he will select and <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-says-knows-presidential-selection-will-rcna158457" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that &#8220;most likely&#8221; this person will be at his debate next week.</p>
<p>&#8220;They’ll be there,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I think we have a lot of people coming.&#8221;</p>
<p>CNN is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rfk-jr-fails-to-qualify-for-cnn-presidential-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poised to host</a> the debate between Trump and President Joe Biden on Thursday in Atlanta.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s campaign has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-campaign-requests-documents-from-some-vp-contenders-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly sent</a> vetting materials to several potential running mates.</p>
<p>North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jd-vance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.D. Vance</a> (R-OH) have emerged as finalists, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-doug-burgum-jd-vance-marco-rubio-vp-search-rcna157069" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> last week.</p>
<p>The pair have become surrogates for Trump on the campaign trail and hit the airwaves in talking up his campaign.</p>
<p>Burgum <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/23/politics/video/governor-doug-burgum-us-dictatorship-biden-collins-sotu-digvid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told CNN</a> on Sunday that Trump has the &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-leaves-500-tip-at-philly-cheesesteak-shop-rallies-support-for-getting-rid-of-taxes-on-tips?topStoryPosition=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">luxury</a>&#8221; of not having to pick a running mate to attract more voters, but rather someone who can help him govern.</p>
<p>Ashley Etienne, a former aide to Vice President Kamala Harris, said during a recent <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2024/06/15/fmr-vp-harris-comms-director-etienne-j-d-vance-would-pose-the-greatest-debate-threat-to-vp/?utm_source=ground.news&amp;utm_medium=referral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> panel that Vance would pose the &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/quick-witted-vance-poses-greatest-threat-to-harris-in-debate-former-vp-comms-director-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">greatest threat</a>&#8221; to her old boss in a debate.</p>
<p>Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is a third prospect, however there are some doubts about enthusiasm.</p>
<p>And there are potential complications with the 12th Amendment and its <a href="https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/amendments/amendment-xii" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clause</a> against a presidential ticket having two people from the same state.</p>
<p>Trump, a longtime businessman from New York, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/us/politics/trump-new-york-florida-primary-residence.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">changed</a> his residency to Florida in 2019.</p>
<p>Other people who are said to be in the veepstakes mix includes former Cabinet member Ben Carson and House Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY).</p>
<p>Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) have also been floated as contenders.</p>
<p>Trump is expected to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-has-sort-pretty-good-idea-vp-pick-probably-announce-during-rnc-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announce</a> his running mate around the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next month.</p>
<p>A senior adviser for Trump&#8217;s campaign <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-says-knows-presidential-selection-will-rcna158457" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told NBC News</a> a top VP criterion &#8220;is a strong leader who will make a great President for eight years after his next four year term concludes.&#8221;</p>
