Former President Donald Trump is getting back on the campaign trail Tuesday, July 9, with a rally in Florida as the deadline to announce his pick for vice president nears. In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity Monday night, Trump did confirm Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum are under consideration.
But as to when we’ll find out who the official pick is, it seems even the former president isn’t quite sure.

“I think probably within the next week, week and a half, probably sometime — I’d love to do it during the convention,” Trump told Hannity. “My people say that’s a little complicated. You know, in the old days, they would announce the vice president during the convention. Today, with modern day technology you can’t do things that you could’ve done 50 years ago very easily. But probably a little before the convention but not much. It could even be during the convention that we’ll do it. I’d love to do it during the convention. I think it would be a very interesting build up and important for the convention and would make it even more exciting.”
The Republican National Convention kicks off next Monday, July 15, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
