At a campaign stop in the New York borough of the Bronx, former President Donald Trump named some of his possible vice presidential picks, a sign the list may be shortening.
In an interview with News 12 New York, Trump singled out Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Dr. Ben Carson, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) as top options on a list that has continued to grow.
“We have so many,” Trump said when asked about his picks for vice president. “You could take people like Ben Carson, people like Marco Rubio, or J.D. Vance. I mean, there’s so many. Elise is doing a fantastic job, but I could go on for quite a long time. We have many people who would do a really fantastic job.”
When asked about the timeline, Trump said he would make a decision “sometime during the convention,” which is when presidential nominees typically announce their vice president. Trump has floated all of these names as picks for various reasons.
Ben Carson As Trump’s VP Pick Would Be A Solid Choice.
He Doesn’t Need Charisma Like Trump Because Trump Has Enough For Both Of Them.

In the first nine months of 2015, Carson outraised all the Republican presidential nominees, including Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump.
