So, amidst all the buzz, everyone’s eyes are on Trump as he gets ready to reveal his running mate for the upcoming presidential race. Some advisors are admitting they’re in the dark, hinting that maybe he hasn’t made up his mind yet. This only adds to the suspense around the announcement. Now, the Ohio Senator, JD Vance, has seen a sudden and dramatic rise in his odds of becoming Trump’s VP pick. His odds have shot up by almost 300%. That puts him in the lead with a 31% chance of being selected and ahead of the other potential candidates. Still, it all comes down to who meant to be picked by Trump. JD Vance’s odds to be Trump’s VP just shot up nearly 300% He’s now the favorite with a 31% chance. pic.twitter.com/RqIyXnanVY — Polymarket (@Polymarket) July 8, 2024 MSN reports: JD Vance, who gained national attention just eight years ago with his “Hillbilly Elegy” memoir of growing up in Rust Belt poverty, is the next-generation populist leader in the top tier of Donald Trump’s potential running mates. The US senator from Ohio is perhaps more closely aligned with the former president than any other candidate on Trump’s vice presidential shortlist. Selection would position Vance to be the standard-bearer of Trumpism after Trump and a favorite for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028. “He is a younger and more articulate version of Trump,” Republican pollster Frank Luntz said of Vance, who at 39 years old is the second-youngest member of the Senate. Vance appeals to the working-class voters who may previously have been Democrats but shifted parties to back Trump, said Alex Triantafilou, chairman of the Ohio Republican Party. Vance’s upbringing helps him to connect to the economic struggles of those voters in the crucial Rust Belt swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, he said. “He literally wrote the book on this moment in history,” Triantafilou said. Republican Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas called Vance “a rising superstar” who is able to reach out to younger voters and suburban women in a way “maybe that somebody with gray hair wouldn’t quite as effectively.” Vance has gone up against his party and Wall Street by working with Democrats Sherrod Brown on seeking stronger safety regulations for railroads after the 2023 disaster in East Palestine, Ohio; Elizabeth Warren and Brown on clawing back the pay of bank executives whose institutions fail; and Illinois Senator Dick Durbin on forcing more competition in the credit card industry. The Ohio senator has been perhaps the loudest opponent in the Senate of aiding Ukraine in its war with Russia, putting him at odds with congressional party leaders and Republicans’ powerful strong-defense wing. Vance hasn’t won any of those fights. His railroad and credit card competition bills are stalled amid establishment Republican opposition, and military aid to Ukraine ultimately was approved. Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, a supporter of Ukraine, praised Vance as a bright and personable senator who wouldn’t be divisive within the ideologically fractious party. “He’s a reasonable guy, he’s got a great sense of humor,” Tillis said.

As Democrats remain in a frenzy over the prospect of either allowing the cognitively deficient Joe Biden remain their party’s candidate in November or attempting to find a suitable replacement, a number of potential names have begun to surface. One popular choice among leftists is California Gov. Gavin Newsom, whom some have suggested could form a ticket with Vice President Kamala Harris. This week, however, Sen. Marco Rubio, mentioned alongside several others as Donald Trump’s possible running mate, dismissed such a scenario. According to Fox News: Rubio, who is reportedly among the top contenders being considered as former President Trump’s vice presidential pick, was confronted during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” on whether he’d move out of Florida or resign his U.S. Senate seat if he does become the running mate. CNN host Dana Bash pointed to how the U.S. Constitution says presidential electors cannot vote for a president and a vice president who are both from the same state. Rubio and Trump are both residents of Florida. “That’s presumptuous … I have no idea who he’s going to pick,” Rubio said. “But I think it’s comforting for Americans to know that when Kamala Harris becomes their nominee, she can’t pick [California Gov.] Gavin Newsom because I don’t think we can afford, as a country, to have two Californians with their crazy policies become the law of the land.” While Trump could theoretically shift his primary residence to one of his other homes in a different state and select a Floridian to fill out the ticket, there’s no evidence that either Newsom or Harris could do the same. The topic of Newsom replacing Biden has attracted significant attention on social media since the president’s disastrous debate performance last month. “We Will Be Flat Footed To Compete Against A Gavin Newsom” @TomiLahren predicts California’s governor will be the Democratic nominee for President – and warns Republicans to focus on policies, not Biden’s health, on the road to November pic.twitter.com/v2LXTq0jjL — The Big Weekend Show (@BigWeekendShow) July 7, 2024 Michael Rapaport says he’s “proudly” and “openly” supporting Donald Trump this November if Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris replace Biden as the Democratic candidate. pic.twitter.com/sTVUpT67rx — Chris Bertman (@manofbert) June 29, 2024 MSNBC’S NICOLLE WALLACE JUST SAID CONVERSATIONS WILL TAKE PLACE TO REPLACE BIDEN TOMORROW! It’s not just a coincidence the left is railing against Joe. The debate was a SETUP to replace Biden with Gavin Newsom, Michelle Obama, or Kamala Harris. Share to make this go viral! pic.twitter.com/lP1QjsRRFE — Bo Loudon (@BoLoudon) June 28, 2024 For his part, Newsom has been dutifully claiming that he will continue supporting Biden and has no intention to seek the Democratic Party nomination this year. As he told a group of voters in Michigan recently, per The New York Times: Gov. Gavin Newsom of California told angsty Michigan Democrats on Thursday that President Biden had been engaged and all in on his re-election campaign during a White House meeting a day before. And Mr. Newsom suggested, gently, that party activists take a deep breath and rally behind the incumbent. “What I need to convince you of is not to be fatalistic, not to fall prey to all this negativity,” Mr. Newsom told more than 300 fellow Democrats who had gathered on the Fourth of July holiday in South Haven, Mich. Democrats have had a brutal week since Mr. Biden’s rocky debate performance last week, and calls for him to exit the race have exposed rifts within the party. Mr. Newsom came to Michigan, a crucial swing state, as a surrogate campaigning for Mr. Biden. But it was hard to ignore the fact that he was also among the leading names being circulated as a potential replacement candidate — along with the Democratic governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer. Here’s how he tackled to topic during a recent interview: NATIONAL POLL: Who Is Your Top Choice For Trump’s VP? Share!
