Donald Trump is under pressure to name his running mate before his July 11 hush money trial sentencing to ensure he has a surrogate in place should he be imprisoned. Despite initially promising to reveal his running mate at the Republican National Convention starting July 15, Trump's campaign has leaked a list of potential candidates, including Doug Burgum, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Elise Stefanik, and Byron Donalds. The campaign's internal debates have focused on Burgum and Vance as top finalists. Meanwhile, Trump’s fundraising efforts have surged, particularly following his May 30 conviction, significantly narrowing the cash gap with President Joe Biden. Trump's campaign, the Republican National Committee, and an allied super PAC raised over $170 million in May, with Trump now having more cash on hand than Biden. This surge in donations has been fueled by both large and small donors, with a notable increase in contributions from first-time donors. Other potential VP picks will be at a watch party hosted by RNC/Kelly Loeffler.
