The decision will come after months of speculation about who his running mate will be. There will be a roll call vote on the presidential ticket, which includes the vice president, on Monday at the RNC. According to Col. Douglas Macgregor, an anonymous source said J.D. Vance is set to become Trump’s running mate. “Anonymous source reveals Trump will announce JD Vance as his VP pick at 4:30pm EST. What are your thoughts on JD Vance?” MacGregor wrote.

But he told Fox News Channel host Bret Baier in a call that he planned to make his pick Monday, the anchor said on air. The roll call vote to nominate that person is expected to take place Monday, according to a person with direct knowledge of the schedule who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The person cautioned that Trump could always change his mind. Trump is believed to have narrowed his list to three candidates: Ohio Sen. JD Vance, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. All come with different benefits and vulnerabilities. Vance is perhaps most ideologically aligned with the former president and would energize his base. At age 39, he would add a millennial contrast to the older men at the top of their parties’ tickets. But he has served in the Senate for less than two years. Burgum would bring business acumen and a steady hand, though Trump has noted his signing of a highly restrictive abortion law could be a drawback. Rubio is seen in the party as a respected voice on policy, and his background — as the son of Cuban immigrants and a Spanish speaker — could help Trump appeal to Latino voters. He could also help draw more moderate and establishment-minded voters and donors turned off by Trump’s coarse rhetoric. But Rubio’s candidacy is complicated by the fact that he lives in Florida, like Trump, and would likely need to move.
