Donald Trump's Running Mate Selection Appears to Take Surprising Turn

Donald Trump's running mate for the presidential election will likely be male, according to booking odds, which may come as a surprise following predictions that he will choose a woman.

The former president and GOP 2024 presumptive nominee is yet to publicly announce who he will choose as his running mate in the presidential election but speculation has increased over the last few weeks and months about who it could be.

According to the website oddschecker, the five most likely candidates in order of likeliness for the role are Tim Scott, the junior U.S. Senator from South Carolina, Doug Burgum, the Governor of North Dakota, J.D. Vance, a junior senator from Ohio, Marco Rubio, the senior U.S. senator from Florida, and Ben Carson, the former United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 2017 to 2021
