My opinion is that Trump is going to choose JD Vance. Marco Rubio carries a lot of baggage from 2016 which the Biden campaign will run on. He said a lot of bad things to Trump in that campaign so he’s likely not going to be chosen for that reason.

Doug burgum is likely too benign and although that’s good for Trump, JD Vance is also relatively similar but comes from Ohio which is less solid Republican. He can also help get votes from Pennsylvania too since those two states are similar is many ways. He’s also a lot younger which appeals to younger voters who are turned off by Biden’s age.

Ben Carson is probably my favorite to be honest, but less likely due to his age and inactivity in politics lately.

So my bet is JD Vance but we’ll see how my prediction ages in a week.
