Former United States President Donald Trump will announce his vice presidential pick on Monday.
Trump disclosed this to Fox News during a phone interview with anchor Bret Baier.
He promised to announce his running mate on the opening day of the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin.
Trump aides have suggested the former president and his running mate could make an appearance on stage Monday evening.
The search has narrowed in on Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, though Trump has in recent interviews mentioned Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) as a contender.
Vance and Rubio are thought to have separated themselves from the pack.
Vance, in particular, has multiple high-profile boosters in the former president’s orbit, including Donald Trump Jr.
Law enforcement was stationed outside Vance’s home in Ohio on Sunday night, further fueling speculation that he could be the choice.
The importance of Trump’s running mate was put into focus over the weekend after an assassination attempt left Trump bloodied after a bullet grazed his ear.
