WASHINGTON, DC: Former president Donald Trump has disclosed that he has selected the Republican nominee for vice president, albeit the chosen candidate doesn't know yet, according to Daily Mail.

Donald Trump drops major VP hint ahead of CNN debate
With little over four months before the election, reporters questioned Trump on his choice of running mate ahead of his Saturday, June 22, rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Trump answered, "In my mind, yeah." In response to a query about whether he had told the person he would select for vice president, Trump stated, "No, nobody knows."
Notably, for their first debate in the general election of 2024, Trump and President Joe Biden will meet in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday.
Moreover, the debates takes place barely one month after the former president was found guilty in Manhattan of 34 felonies connected to the payment of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
Furthermore, Trump stated to NBC News that his VP pick is 'most likely' to attend the debate on Thursday.
In the weeks leading up to the July 15–18 Republican National Convention and the debate, the process of choosing Trump's vice presidential candidate has intensified.
According to multiple outlets, Trump's campaign revealed that he has been seriously evaluating a list of eight Republicans to run with him in November over the past few months.
The shortlisted candidates are Sen JD Vance (R-Ohio), Sen Tim Scott (R-SC), Sen Marco Rubio (R-Fla), Sen Doug Burgum (R-North Dakota), Rep Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep Byron Donalds (R-Fla), and Ben Carson, the former secretary of housing and urban development under Trump.
However, Trump has minimized the influence his running mate will have on his election, even as he has applauded each of these people and others, saying they would be great choices.
Internet shares mixed reactions as Trump drops major VP hint ahead of CNN debate
People on the internet had mixed reactions and stayed divided as Donald Trump disclosed that he has selected the Republican nominee for vice president in November.
Some online comments read "I think more than one of those people will be there. He likes to tease and build suspense" and "Please not Tim Scott! He comes across as a stereotypical politician who is not believable when he talks. And, the more he talks the less you believe that he is sincere."
A user wrote, "I am looking forward to seeing this debate. Hope it’s as entertaining as I imagine", while another added, "Ratings baby, just ratings. If someone knows how to play media game it’s good old Don."
A person also stated, "He should consider Byron Donalds. He was just speaking on the radio again today and he is very articulate and astute. He gets the issues and has good solutions. JD Vance isn't experienced enough", whereas another mentioned, "There is no audience at the CNN DEBATE. So I guess we still will not know who the VP is."
