'Swear fealty to Donald': Trump trolled as he gears up to pick his running mate for 2024 amid looming threat of imprisonment

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: On Thursday, June 6, former President Donald Trump said in an interview that he would announce his running mate at the Republican National Convention next month.

According to CNN, TV psychologist Dr Phil McGraw pressed the 77-year-old MAGA strongman, “Are you going to tell me who your vice-presidential choice is?”

“I can’t yet, but we have some very good people. I’m going to do it in the convention,” the ex-POTUS replied.

Where is the Republican National Convention being held?

The Republican National Convention will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from July 15–18.

Former President Trump made similar claims during an interview on Fox News that aired Thursday as well.

The 2024 presumptive GOP nominee confirmed, “I think I’ll announce who that person’s gonna be during the convention. I think that’s pretty normal, during the convention. It’ll be an interesting period of time.”

The 45th President of the United States, Trump said in an interview with TMJ4 News last month that there was a “pretty good chance” he would declare his running mate at the Milwaukee GOP convention this year.

The aforementioned outlet reported on Wednesday that materials for vetting have been sent to several candidates who are being looked at for the running mate position, according to someone familiar with the process.

Individuals familiar with the discussions, however, warned that the former president’s search for a running mate is still up in the air, and the campaign has stressed that only Trump, himself, would make the final call.
