I\u2019m not sure that it would, but there are those who say Trump\u2019s waiting until he finds out what\u2019s going to happen with crooked Joe Biden, and we\u2019ll see what happens with Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the South Florida event wasn\u2019t just notable for teasing vice presidential possibilities, although it was notable for that. (And that doesn\u2019t just apply to Rubio, mind you; as NBC News noted, even though he\u2019s the governor of North Dakota, top veepstakes candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/many-reasons-trump-cross-burgum-off-vp-short-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Doug Burgum<\/a> has most of his donor base in Miami.)<\/p>\n<p>Trump, NBC News said, \u201cnoticeably aimed sharper insults at Vice President Kamala Harris, who could be his general election opponent if Biden steps aside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his pre-event interview with WTVJ, the former president also talked more about Biden\u2019s debate performance, something Trump has been unusually quiet about over the past two weeks. (And, in all fairness, when your opponent can\u2019t get out of his own way, best to not say anything at all.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t the greatest performance I\u2019ve ever seen \u2026 I thought he looked very pale,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter a couple of minutes, I was saying, what\u2019s going here? \u2026. It was amazing as an event, but it was a little bit strange,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Well, yes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-kjp-snaps-reporter-asks-biden-disabled-rough-debate-know-better\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you don\u2019t say<\/a>. Whatever the case, the possibility of nominee Harris \u2014 or someone else completely \u2014 could upend what states are in play and what the priorities are.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, it sounds self-evident that Rubio is, at the very least, near the top of the running, along with Burgum, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.<\/p>\n<p>And if he doesn\u2019t announce which one it is this week, it could give the Republican National Convention a bit of added juice by withholding, all while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bidens-defiant-letter-house-democrats-slammed-breathtakingly-cynical-dishonest-side\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">president continues to implode<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>I heard a chilling comment the other day: \u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>That wasn\u2019t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet.

Trump hinted at announcing his choice during a rally in Florida, leading to speculation and excitement among supporters. While he did not reveal his pick, he praised Marco Rubio and indicated that he had already made a decision but was considering alternatives. The event also saw Trump criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris and discussing Biden&#8217;s debate performance. The possibility of facing Harris or another opponent could impact the election landscape. Rubio, along with other candidates, is considered a top contender for the vice presidential spot. The delay in announcing the pick could add excitement to the convention. Amidst all this, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn&#8217;s warning about the importance of the 2024 election underscores the need for support in the fight against Big Tech censorship.
