Only one contender is a woman. Another is a guy worth at least $100 million. All are expected to show unwavering loyalty to Trump.
Any day now, Donald Trump is hinting he’s going to announce his running mate in the 2024 presidential election. He told reporters last weekend that he’s made his decision and that this person will be in attendance at Thursday’s presidential debate. The televised debate will be the first between Trump and President Joe Biden in the 2024 election cycle.
Here’s a quick and dirty overview of the people on Trump’s short list for vice president, and what each could bring to his ticket.

Burgum is rich. The two-term governor is worth at least $100 million. He made lots of money after selling a software company to Microsoft in 2001 for more than $1 billion.
He’s also the least familiar name on Trump’s shortlist. You may not even remember that Burgum ran against Trump in the GOP primary for president this year. His campaign went nowhere despite his throwing more than $12 million of his own money into it. As a candidate, Burgum said he’d never want to do business with Trump because “you’re judged by the company you keep.”
