Would Vance Be Redundant?
While Vance is a perfect pairing for Trump in many ways, many political strategists have opined that he’s unnecessary. The Ohio Senator bleeds MAGA and would be massively popular with Trump’s base, but he’s not going to pull in any moderates.
Burgum and Rubio would both be better suited to assuaging fears of an extreme MAGA ticket.
Trump may not particularly care, though. In the latest Presidential Election odds – in the wake of Saturday’s assassination attempt – Trump had shortened to -275 to win a second, non-consecutive term in the White House.

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, speculation is mounting over who former President Donald Trump will choose as his running mate. Two names that have emerged as top contenders for the vice-presidential slot are Doug Burgum and JD Vance.
Doug Burgum, the current Governor of North Dakota, has been a strong supporter of Trump and his policies. Burgum, a successful businessman before entering politics, has been praised for his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his efforts to boost North Dakota’s economy. He has also been a vocal advocate for conservative values and has a strong base of support among Republican voters.
JD Vance, a venture capitalist and author of the bestselling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” has also been mentioned as a potential running mate for Trump. Vance, who hails from Ohio, has been a vocal critic of the political establishment and has gained a following among conservative voters for his populist views on issues such as immigration and trade. His background as a successful entrepreneur and his ability to connect with working-class voters could make him an appealing choice for Trump’s ticket.
Both Burgum and Vance bring unique strengths to the table that could complement Trump’s leadership style and appeal to different segments of the Republican base. Burgum’s experience as a governor and his focus on economic growth could help bolster Trump’s message of job creation and prosperity. Vance’s outsider status and his ability to speak to the concerns of blue-collar Americans could energize Trump’s base and help him appeal to new voters.
Ultimately, the decision of who Trump will choose as his running mate will depend on a variety of factors, including their ability to work with Trump and their potential to help him win key battleground states. As the 2024 election draws closer, all eyes will be on Burgum and Vance as they vie for the coveted spot on Trump’s ticket.
