The Republican National Convention is underway in Milwaukee and appears set to begin with some big news. Soon-to-be official Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump says that he will unveil his choice for a running mate and Vice Presidential candidate today.

It was reported last week that Trump had narrowed the list down to a final three of either North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio; or Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance. NBC News reports that Trump indicated over the weekend that South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott is also in the running. Trump also apparently hinted that it could be someone who has not been part of recent media speculation.

We’ll update this post when the announcement is finally revealed and/or leaked.
