Musk called Trump on the 14th and urged him to hire Vance. Trump was concerned about Vance's behavior and lack of political experience, which he has criticized in the past, but his eldest son Junior and conservative commentator Tucker Carlson also strongly recommended Vance. Mr. Trump reportedly informed Mr. Vance of his appointment several minutes before the announcement was made on the 15th.
US CNN reported on the 16th that when former Republican President Donald Trump (78), who is aiming to make a comeback in the November presidential election, was deciding on a running mate, businessman Elon Musk made a last-minute bid to replace U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance. It was reported that they lobbied for the appointment of a lawmaker (39). Musk expressed support for Trump after the shooting on the 13th. It is also reported that he plans to donate $45 million (approximately 7.1 billion yen) every month, and has deepened his involvement in politics.
Mr. Trump had also considered appointing Doug Burgum (67), the governor of the midwestern state of North Dakota, but Mr. Junior and others criticized him as ``an establishment politician.'' Mr. Trump's evaluation of his emphasis on "strength" is said to have declined following reports that Mr. Burgum had been tearful in public in the past.
On the other hand, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (53) was hampered by the constitutional provision that prevents him from obtaining the electoral votes of a state if the president and vice president reside in the same state. Both Trump and Rubio reside in southern Florida. There was a plan for Mr. Rubio to move out of state, but Mr. Trump was also concerned about the war of words he had during the 2016 presidential election.
