According to a Bloomberg report, President Trump has allegedly narrowed his list of vice presidential candidates to four individuals.
As 100 Percent Fed Up previously noted, a group of politicians are heading off to Florida for a retreat.
“These VP hopefuls are following in past contestants’ footsteps, where before they competed to win a job position for Trump’s organization,” 100 Percent Fed Up stated.
“An exclusive donor retreat at the Four Seasons in Palm Beach this week promises a similar vibe — drawing hundreds of deep-pocketed GOP backers as well as allies eyeing the No. 2 spot on the Republican presidential ticket,” Bloomberg stated.
“The spectacle comes as Trump is narrowing his gaze on a handful of potential running mates,” the outlet continued.
Bloomberg cited four names as Trump VP hopefuls:
- Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH)
- North Dakota Republican Gov. Doug Burgum
- Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
- Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC)
Now, it’s important to remember this isn’t from Trump or anyone with his campaign.
It wouldn’t be a surprise if Trump is considering other candidates who aren’t on this list.

Per Bloomberg:
Scott, Rubio and Vance all offer valuable experience raising money for Senate campaigns. Burgum, who sold his software company to Microsoft Corp. for $1.1 billion in 2001, has contacts in tech and energy sectors that could also help him woo wealthy donors.
Trump has publicly praised all four candidates recently, but Trump and Rubio have a history of trading barbs. During the 2016 Republican primary, Trump dubbed the Florida Senator “Little Marco,” and Rubio called Trump “the most vulgar person.” On Wednesday, Trump called Rubio “great” and “one of the people I respect.”
“Anyone claiming to know who or when President Trump will choose his VP is lying, unless the person is named Donald J. Trump,” Trump senior advisor Brian Hughes said.
The outlet noted Trump is expected to name his running mate closer to the July 15th Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
“We’ll be making that decision I think closer to Wisconsin time,” Trump said in an interview this week, according to Bloomberg.
“It’s very early right now,” he added.
NEW: Trump VP list is winnowing down to Gov Burgum, Sens Rubio, Vance + Scott. They will appear w/donors at RNC retreat in Palm Beach this weekend. No formal meetings with Trump yet to talk about the job (tho he speaks to all of them regularly): https://t.co/20LrzEEsrP
