Rubio Emerges as Trump's Top VP Pick
Former President Could Name Florida Senator as Running Mate
According to recent reports, former President Donald Trump is considering Marco Rubio as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election. If Rubio is selected, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would need to appoint a replacement for the senator.
Possible Impact on DeSantis
The potential nomination of Rubio could have a significant impact on DeSantis's political future. If Rubio becomes Trump's VP, DeSantis would likely be under pressure to support the Republican ticket, even if he has his own presidential ambitions. This could create a rift between DeSantis and his potential supporters within the Republican Party.
Trump's Shortlist
Rubio and Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance are reportedly on Trump's shortlist of potential running mates. Both candidates have expressed support for Trump and his policies. However, Rubio has a higher national profile than Vance, which could give him an edge in the selection process.
Rubio's Past with Trump
In 2016, Trump defeated Rubio in the Republican presidential primaries. During the campaign, Trump mocked Rubio, calling him "Little Marco." Despite their past rivalry, Rubio has since become a vocal supporter of Trump, which could be a factor in his consideration for the vice presidency.
