The Spin

Former President Donald Trump claims he has picked who would be his vice presidential candidate in the 2024 race, ahead of Thursday's debate versus Joe Biden in Atlanta. However, no one will do so now. At least, not yet. Even Trump's chosen candidate is unaware of this. No one will know unless Trump decides to reveal it.

Former President Donald Trump has been keeping himself busy. He has been found guilty on 34 criminal counts in the New York hush money trial, and he is also involved in three other legal problems while campaigning for president. Trump claims he has chosen his running mate but won't reveal the pick just yet. He has stated that he will disclose his running mate's name at or before the Republican National Convention on July 15, but he may do so sooner to distract from his July 11 sentencing in the New York hus
