Many are called but only one can be chosen to become Donald Trump's running mate in the upcoming election. Who will that be? CTV News' political analyst Eric Ham weighs in on what traits Trump's looking for, and who's in the running to become the potential next vice-president of the United States.

Clockwise, from top left: Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, former U.S. president Donald Trump, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. On Jan. 6, 2021 at 2:24 p.m, U.S.

The constitution names the vice-president of the United States as the president of the senate. In addition to serving as presiding officer, the vice-president has the sole power to break a tie vote in the senate and formally presides over the receiving and counting of electoral ballots cast in presidential elections.

Still, none of the potential picks put key battleground states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in play for the Trump campaign. Additionally, none of the potential picks cut into U.S. President Joe Biden’s current lead with independent or Latino voters. Moreover, for a man and candidate singularly driven by power, the VP pick is less about securing victory and more about maintaining absolute and irrefutable control post-victory. The ex-president still harbors deep resentment for Pence’s ‘failure’ and as the race remains clearly up for grabs, Trump is vowing to right a wrong that has fueled his ire for eight long years should he secure victory.
