RNC 2024 live updates: Trump names JD Vance to be his running mate as Republican convention kicks off
Donald Trump announced that Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance would be running alongside him on the Republican ticket in the 2024 election.
Trump said he would reveal his vice presidential running mate today. Sources told the Associated Press and multiple other news outlets that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum were told they’re not Trump’s pick to run with him as vice president in the 2024 race.
The Republican National Convention, now underway, is the first full-scale presidential nominating convention since 2016, and is scheduled to run through Thursday. Read our full guide to the week here.
The former president’s appearances at the Fiserv Forum arena will mark his first public appearance since he was rushed off the stage in Butler, Pa., after what authorities described as an attempt on his life.
In the wake of the attack on Trump over the weekend, security at the RNC is facing scrutiny. The director of the Secret Service said on Monday that security plans have been “reviewed and strengthened in the wake of Saturday’s shooting.”
