Donald Trump has narrowed down his vice presidential pick to two candidates: Doug Burgum and J.D. Vance.
Senator Marco Rubio is still a long shot for the position.
Trump's announcement of his vice president pick is expected before July 15, the first day of the RNC gathering in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
In a dramatic turn of events, the highly anticipated conclusion to Donald Trump's veepstakes has narrowed down to two candidates: Doug Burgum and J.D. Vance, according to sources reported by the New York Post on Monday. While Senator Marco Rubio remains a long shot, he has not entirely been ruled out of the running.
The announcement of Trump's vice president pick is expected before July 15, the first day of the RNC’s gathering in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It could happen anytime this week, according to senior advisor Jason Miller. While Trump reportedly feels confident about his chances in November due to President Biden's poor debate performance, he has not yet revealed his choice.
In addition to the domestic developments, international events may also play a role in Trump's decision-making process. China's economic rise and its impact on U.S. industrial superiority have been a focal point for some of the VP contenders, such as Rubio who has emphasized the need to maintain U.S. industrial dominance to counter China’s economic rise.
As the RNC approaches, all eyes will be on Milwaukee for Trump's highly anticipated announcement of his vice presidential pick.

The author makes several false statements and uses inflammatory rhetoric. Trump is accused of spreading misinformation about Democrats' abortion rights stance and Biden's comments from the past. These are examples of False Statements. The author also uses the term 'super predators' in reference to Biden, but fails to mention that Biden was quoting someone else and did not use the term himself. This is an example of Misrepresentation. Trump's lies were a distraction from Biden's poor performance at the debate, but the author exaggerates this by stating 'America will be too busy worrying about a Biden’s fitness for office.' This is an example of Overgeneralization and Fear-mongering.
Trump claimed Democrats’ abortion rights stance is so radical ‘they will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month, and even after birth.',
Federal numbers show that, from 2021 to 2024, immigration authorities arrested 103,700 noncitizens with criminal convictions in the U.S. or abroad – not ‘millions.’
Trump accused Biden of calling Black people ‘super predators’ when pushing for a crime bill in the 1990s.

Bias

The author demonstrates a clear political bias against Donald Trump by repeatedly criticizing him for spreading misinformation and lying during the debate. The author also expresses a negative opinion of Trump's upcoming rally in Doral and implies that his lies were not noticed or challenged during the debate due to Biden's poor performance.
For example, Trump claimed Democrats’ abortion rights stance is so radical ‘they will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month, and even after birth.’ The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that, from 2021 to 2024, immigration authorities arrested 103,700 noncitizens with criminal convictions in the U.S. or abroad – not ‘millions.’ Not all of them were let into the U.S. and some had legal status in the U.S., PolitiFact reported.
Former President Donald Trump during the debate on June 27, 2024, at CNN’s studios in Atlanta. After the first presidential debate, there’s a sense of triumph for Donald Trump as he prepares to come to South Florida for a rally in Doral on Tuesday. Not even Trump’s outrageous comments – so run of the mill at this point – or his criminal conviction on 34 felony charges will steal the spotlight from the Democrats’ internal struggle as Biden refuses to relinquish his reelection bid.
Trump accused Biden of calling Black people ‘super predators’ when pushing for a crime bill in the 1990s. Biden in 1997 said just the opposite in a speech: that youth in the criminal justice system ‘are not the so-called ‘super predators,’’ according to a CNN fact check.

Accuracy
Trump's campaign has been avoiding talking much about Biden's debate performance and focusing on their own campaign.
Deception
(30%)
The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position about Trump's strategy of avoiding talking much about Biden's debate performance. The author also uses emotional manipulation by implying that Democrats are tearing into each other and intensifying calls for Biden to drop out, which is not factually accurate. Additionally, the article contains sensationalism with phrases like 'turbulent aftermath of June’s presidential debate that raised questions about Joe Biden’s candidacy' and 'former president’s flailing candidacy'.
The former president’s strategy has been to sit back and let Democrats tear into each other following Biden’s dismal debate performance, intensifying calls for him to drop out of November’s general election.
Some senior Democrats also have thoughts on the former president’s silence, including David Axelrod, a senior adviser for the Obama White House, whose relationship with Biden has been fractious.
It is also possible that Trump is more concerned about advancing his own campaign, notably who to choose as his running mate one week before the Republican national convention in Milwaukee will confirm his third run at the White House as a Republican candidate.
