This potential announcement is being considered as a strategic move to unsettle Biden and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-organization-plans-to-provide-parents-with-tools-to-combat-woke-indoctrination-in-schools\/\" title=\"New Organization Plans To Provide Parents With Tools To Combat \u2018Woke Indoctrination\u2019 In Schools\">gain media attention<\/a>.\u200c Trump has been known for his unpredictable political strategies and this move could significantly shift the dynamics of his campaign and the presidential\u200d race. \u200bTrump is reportedly deciding between several candidates, including North Dakota Governor Doug\u200b Burgum, Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, all of whom are expected\u2062 to attend the debate. While the timing and choice\u200c of the VP announcement remain uncertain, Trump&#8217;s \u200dspokesman, Brian Hughes, emphasized the importance of selecting a strong leader who\u200d could potentially succeed Trump. The article also touches on the Western Journal\u2019s financial struggles \u2063and appeals for donations\u200b to support \u2062its operations against what it sees as suppression \u200bby Big Tech\u2062 and elite groups.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/news\/\">  News <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/jsaunders\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/jsaunders\/%20\"><span>Joe Saunders<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   June 26, 2024 at 9:59am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>This could really shake things up in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/paul-krugman-offers-predictably-insane-take-on-debt-ceiling-showdown\/\" title=\"Paul Krugman Offers Predictably Insane Take on Debt Ceiling Showdown\">clock ticks closer<\/a> to Thursday\u2019s presidential debate pitting\u00a0former President Donald Trump against President Joe Biden, a report is circulating that Trump could be springing a big surprise on his Democratic opponent.<\/p>\n<p>And upending the presidential campaign in the process.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/trump-considering-announcing-vp-pick-this-week-debate-rcna158827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBC News<\/a> reported Tuesday, citing sources identified only as \u201cpeople familiar with the situation,\u201d Trump could be revealing his running mate before he and Biden even take the stage at CNN headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has previously said he would reveal the name of the individual he\u2019s chosen before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, which begins\u00a0July 15.<\/p>\n<p>But that timetable might have changed considerably, and Trump is now considering a \u201ccurveball\u201d that could knock Biden off his already-unsteady feet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople familiar with discussions about a pre-debate announcement had differing views about Trump\u2019s leanings,\u201d NBC reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne said he is eager to fill his ticket before he squares off with Biden. Another source said he would like the opportunity to throw a curveball to distract Biden before they meet but understands that such a move could create logistical and political complications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Any news report is only as credible as its sourcing, and anonymously sourced reports should always be treated with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Should Trump announce his VP pick before the debate?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But there\u2019s no denying a Trump announcement on a running mate would be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ag-garland-bans-officials-from-appearing-at-any-partisan-political-events\/\" title=\"AG Garland Bans Officials From Appearing at Any Partisan Political Events\">headline-grabbing move<\/a> that would suck up the oxygen surrounding the Atlanta faceoff.<\/p>\n<p>It would be a national story. It would put Trump on top of the news cycle. And it would almost certainly set his opponent back a step.<\/p>\n<p>In short, it would be exactly the kind of move Trump has been making since he came down the escalator at Trump Tower in 2015 to announce his bid for the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s no question it would change the current situation. For one thing, the campaign conversation would be forced to widen for at least a time beyond comparing Trump\u2019s qualifications and the success of his presidency against the self-evident failures of Biden\u2019s years in office.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever the announcement is made, Trump\u2019s choice will be compared to Biden\u2019s Vice President Kamala Harris, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-polling-devastating-news-kamala-harris-presidential-dream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whose problems with popularity<\/a> are well-documented.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, NBC reported that top names in contention for the slot are North Dakota Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/many-reasons-trump-cross-burgum-off-vp-short-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Doug Burgum<\/a>, who mounted his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/burgum-next-dropout-candidate-faces-uphill-battle-qualify-3rd-gop-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">own short-lived bid<\/a> for the Republican nomination this year, Sen.
