Donald Trump’s search for a vice-presidential candidate includes several notable figures, with Marco Rubio and Byron Donalds among the top contenders. Rubio, a Cuban American senator, could help garner Latino support due to his bilingual abilities and appeal to traditional Republicans. Polling indicates that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is the most favored choice among Republicans, despite his claims of disinterest in the role. The selection process is further complicated by potential political baggage, as both Rubio and JD Vance would need successors appointed by governors who have clashed with Trump. Former Vice President Mike Pence’s refusal to support Trump, citing his actions post-2020 election, underscores the contentious nature of the current 'veepstakes'.
