In this election, the Republican has less reason to lean toward a more traditional vice president pick in the vein of Marco Rubio, Tim Scott or Mike Pence.

Now that Donald Trump is officially the presumptive Republican nominee, he’s getting ready for the general election. In just the last couple of weeks, he’s scratched a lot off his to-do list. He installed new leadership, including his daughter-in-law, at the Republican National Committee and negotiated a joint-fundraising agreement with the party. His campaign is in talks with his former campaign manager and pardon recipient Paul Manafort to run the GOP convention.

The idea that a sidekick could change voters’ opinions about him seems implausible. Unlike in 2016, Trump may not have reason to shore up portions of the base with this decision. The voters Pence helped bring into Trump’s coalition are now for the most part fully loyal to him. Those who aren’t won’t change their minds based on a potential veep. Hence my skepticism that picking a woman would shore up Trump’s weaknesses with female voters.
