Business world ties elevate key contenders in Trump's search for a running mate

Donald Trump is narrowing his running mate choices, and the business world ties of some top candidates are helping them rise on his list.The two leading examples of this dynamic are Ohio Senator J.D. Vance and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum .

Of course, Trump being Trump, the list of contenders could change quickly, and the former president has a full month to make his pick after saying he wants to wait to announce until the Republican convention, which begins on July 15 in Milwaukee.Trump continued to tease the process. He reiterated that he would probably announce during the convention and that, while he isn't saying, "I have sort of a pretty good idea" of who it will be.

He grew close to Trump after his short-lived presidential campaign ended, with Burgum quickly endorsing and going all in for Trump.He remained at Microsoft as a senior vice president through 2007 before a stint as a venture capitalist. Then he made the jump into politics and first won North Dakota's gubernatorial election in 2016.

One business world candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, has fallen off the list in recent weeks. Trump is considering the Roivant Sciences founder — and former Trump 2024 rival — potentially Fauci recounts expletive-laden lecture he got from Trump when stock market didn’t increase enough on vaccine news Rep.
