re: What's your best guess for Trumps VP and when does he announce it?

I think he’s already selected Vivek and will announce it earlier than the convention, and also earlier than it is traditionally announced.

Vivek wants to be the President. VP is his most direct path to the nomination in ‘24. There’s no way Vivek is campaigning this hard for him bc he’s not currently serving in any other political office and doesn’t need Trump’s help to stay in some political office.

He’s also JFK and Lawfare insurance. In no way am I suggesting he’s anything like Dick Cheney, but I can see him having a Cheneyesque role as VP insofar as advisor / decision maker with respect to the hiring/firing of bureaucrats.

Vivek has a small base of support from his presidential campaign, and he will do well with younger, professional voters with kids.

Kash is my personal favorite of all Trumpers bc he’s smart AF, and hates the deep state the most. I think Kash wants to actually be in the cabinet somewhere. And I would love it if he were AG.

Nikki Haley is my guess. She suspended her campaign two weeks ago but yesterday she got

18.6% in Arizona
13.8% in Florida
14.3% in Illinois
16% in Kansas
14.3% in Ohio

Trump likes her, hired her once already and she has access to the donor class that Trump needs. Trump's also probably looking for a woman and/or minority (Republicans are just as bad when it comes to diversity hires).

Some one with a spine.
