Now that Donald Trump has essentially locked up the GOP presidential nomination, it's time to turn our attention to the Veepstakes. There's been much speculation about the matter, and we've had a few hints from Trump himself, but his ultimate decision has yet to be announced.
A lot of things go into the decision to choose a vice president. John F. Kennedy chose Lyndon B. Johnson in 1960 to balance out his East Coast Catholicism with a Southern Protestant. By most accounts, the two hated each other, but JFK put winning above his personal feelings. Trump picked Mike Pence as his vice president to shore up Evangelicals, who were skittish about the thrice-married reality TV star at that time. Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris as his veep to appease his far-left flank because she checked multiple diversity boxes.
So what will Trump do this time around? Will he go with a former primary candidate who dropped out early and endorsed him, like Sen. Tim Scott or Vivek Ramaswamy? Perhaps he'll choose someone more traditional, like South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem or Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. Or maybe he'll go completely outside the box and pick Tucker Carlson or Kari Lake.
