In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Senator JD Vance revealed that former President Donald Trump first proposed the idea of making him his vice-presidential pick on the morning of the July 13 Pennsylvania rally in Butler, where Trump was later shot. Vance said Trump had suggested they announce the VP decision together on stage during the rally.
However, Trump ultimately changed his mind and attended the rally alone. The event took a shocking turn when Trump was shot, though he survived the incident and resumed campaigning shortly after. Vance, an Ohio senator and prominent Trump supporter, reflected on the unexpected timing and significance of the conversation, noting that it underscores Trump’s evolving plans and campaign dynamics heading into the 2024 election.
