the problem with people like jd vance is joe biden can take all the words that jd vance said about donaldmp now if he picks him as his vp and play them back to donald trump because jd vance in 2016 said numerous negative things about donald trump including i would never vote for donald trump is what jd vance said. and so that, i think, becomes, you know, jd vance may be on the list. i think jd vance becomes problematic because you can just take his words. and joe biden says i don't have to tell you what i think of him. let me play what your vp candidate thinks about him. >> ana, i agree with that. the last time i sat down with congresswoman stefanik was in the spring of 2016 and what she said to me is we've got to stop donald trump. so all of these people that we've mentioned -- >> joe biden or donald trump? >> donald trump. wait a minute, i thought he was a trump fan. >> all of them on this list have said things about donald trump, that they thought he was unprepared, ill-suited, crazy, whatever it may be. they all have that record. j d vance says it really loudly. >> to that point, henr

vance felt a different way, but you have uncovered a trove of information of vance's criticism on trumpght. and we've reported on a j.d. vance's past anti-trump comments before this is somebody who suggested that trump could be america's hitler. he compared him to opium and heroin for the white working class. but before he apologized for those comments when he ran for senate in 2022, with trump's backing. but i think what's really interesting about these, these twitter likes it shows a side of jd vance that we really didn't even necessarily see publicly when he was such a big trump critic because he was this trump he was a public intellectual and people flock to them to sort of explain why trump was doing so well with the white working class. but we, when we see these likes, we see the sort of things that he'd agreed with that he wasn't even going to say publicly and i want to walk our viewers through a few of them. so take a look at this one, and this is from october 2016 this is after the access hollywood tape one public and he liked this tweet that said maybe the central park five co

directly to donald trump, jd vance, for instance, donald trump junior, his son, is really pushing vance he's a close friend of jd vance's and he's often i'm told, gone to donald trump directly and said, i think this is the man to be your running mate. he's also had support from steve bannon then and tucker carlson, both people i know continue to talk to donald trump frequently. burgum on the other hand, has garnered the support of rupert murdoch and we've kind of seen murdoch's empire within fox news corp starting to shower the north dakota governor with favorable media coverage. we saw the new york post and the wall street journal offer some of that favorable coverage to him and then rubio is actually become a favorite of the donor class. and one anecdote i can tell you, aaron, is that at a dinner falling donald trump's manhattan conviction last month? it was with some doesn't wall street donors, donald trump took an informal straw poll and rubio, one that he also has the support of kellyanne conway. i'm told, and sean hannity. so a lot of different people in donald trump's ear. >> all

vance said, i've not met him before.e watched him on tv on watch him on cnn. >> he does connect, not put people. >> he is a populist. >> you have likey, he has good language, communicating with people one of the things that really i think echoed with the trump campaign was when he took the same standard is trump did going to the munich conference month or two ago earlier this spring and talk about why we should not arm ukraine. >> yeah, he took the prompt playbook and hit a home run as it related to the trump new. and i don't think he took any questions, but he was out there on the front lines willing to take the shots across the bow and that got a lot of credit in trump's book, but they're close. they traveled together or i was a big state big republicans state in one of the things that probably hurts j.d of getting on the ticket is trump doesn't need ohio. he's already wanted yeah. he's gotten win with the suburban women he's got to win the swing states like my state here at michigan. yeah those are the states where he

i agree, and you heard some of that in your conversation with senator vance.se will apply to future presidents. they are concerned that after a bitter campaign as one justice pointed out in an argument that the winning candidate could throw the loser into jail. they're worried about that, and as trump said during that debate, he believes biden's policies on immigration have been criminal. they see this as a case that goes well beyond donald trump. that's why i think they're going to wall off those kind of official actions of a president's, but leave open the possibility of prosecution for unofficial actions of an office seeker, and as trump's lawyer argued at the oral arguments, conceded at the oral arguments, a lot of what's alleged in the indictment is unofficial acts. so jack smith could have those papers ready to go and say, he's conceded these are unofficial acts and he can be prosecuted and let's get this trial going, and i think the judge could do that very quickly. >> it's hard to get your head around something being unofficial act by the president whe

vance, i mean our j.d.man of high character, but he is a man of high intellect and trump. >> can't trust me. >> it's the same thing with doug burgum. doug burgum as a man, he's not a man of great charisma, but he's a man of great accomplishment. trump can't trust the, but you can trust to tim scott because he's a zero and you can trust marco rubio because he's spiritually broken. so i think he's going to be looking for one of those sort of more negligible human beings. rather than somebody with high intellect or high care. so how does it, who is the biden campaign concerned about his running mate? i actually don't think the biden campaign is concerned about any of these people because all they do is serve to reinforce all of the worst aspects of donald trump. and that is the biden campaign's winning message here. so, you know, j.d. vance is somebody who's shown that he's willing to go out and advance and he trump lie. and doug burgum has gone out and shown that he's willing to advance any trump life. so for

of jd vance's. he's been very actively lobbying his father for him to be the running mate. he also has the support of steve bannon and tucker carlson. so a lot of the far-right. doug burgum has been getting the support of fox news corp mandate or excuse me, magnate rupert murdoch, he's been pushing him to different conservative, high-profile allies, but also, we've really seen them get showered with some of favorable coverage from fox news score, like with the wall street journal, the new york post, and then burger or excuse me, rubio has actually been a favorite of the donor class at a dinner last month, immediately after donald trump's guilty verdict in his manhattan trial, donald trump was sitting with a group of dozen or so wall street figures and took a informal straw poll asking everyone, who do you like, who do you like, and the majority of people said marco rubio. now, rubio also has the support i'm told of kellyanne conway, as well as sean hannity so breaking they're a little bit with ruper

vance. >> all passing what is considered trump's tv test, which is when trump asks people, does he look good on television? >> who's the best on tv? and all three of those men seem to know that. just look at these numbers since may 1, burgum has done more than 30 interviews for trump 30 tv interviews. vance has done 20. rubio, i guess really pulling in third at 13 and there may be a reason for that, so hold for that because i want to bring mark prieto and now's mark, this is you're reporting on this. now, you have spoken to a lot of maga insiders who know what trump is thinking, what he's saying to them so let's start with j.d. vance. what's the current case for and against i mean, there's a lot of things that maga ville really likes about j.d. >> vance, but the big thing is that he's from the rust belt. he's from ohio and in the polling and in the estimation of the trump campaign he just needs to win one one of those rust belt swing states, wisconsin pennsylvania, or michigan. and he win th

vance. >> what's the current case? >> for and against i mean, there's a lot of things that maga ville really likes about j.d. >> vance, but the big thing is that he's from the rust belt. he's from ohio and in the polling and in the estimation of the trump campaign, he just needs to win one of those rustbelt swing states, wisconsin, pennsylvania, or michigan, and he win the presidency and ohio being right next to pennsylvania, they feel really good about vance. he's a smart guy the problem however, is that he's really young, is 39, is about to turn 40 and he doesn't have a lot of political experience. he's only been a senator for two years, right? >> and his old trump criticism, liking tweets where he called them a do douchey something. i don't know why it was kfile had a great report things like okay. >> so but there's that history which but an interesting just to point out, obviously, ohio now red state, but that they think that that could get one of those neighbouring rust belt states that you lay out. okay. now, wha

vance are now emerging as the top finalists. senator marco rubio remains in contention, but those sources say there are doubts about rubio's enthusiasm for the job. both burgum and vance were asked this week whether they want to be v.p. >> when he makes that decision it is solely up to him and he's the guy that controls the criteria. there's never been a politician, a better debater and better communicator. >> that's ultimately donald trump's choice whether he selects me as vice president. i feel very comfortable with the fact that i can do the job, but look, you have to have some humility going into this, too. >> on saturday nbc news asked mr. trump whether his vice presidential pick will come to thursday's debate? >> most likely, yeah. he'll be there. >> have you decided who the vice president is? >> in my mind, yeah. >> do they know? >> no, nobody knows. >> joining me is mitch landrieu for president biden's campaign. mr. landrieu, welcome back to "meet the press". >> nice to see you. thanks for having me. >> let me get starte

vance was successful with a book and was well-thought-of before he became maga by a lot of folks in a lot of different places. you know, that's the problem trump has. he wants someone who looks vice presidential but someone who will never act independently, never, ever take the shine off of trump, and frankly will do whatever he tells him to do that was pence's problem. pence actually thought the constitution mattered. pence wanted to follow the law as it applied to peaceful transfer of power in america. i mean all -- i mean if you look what donald trump did to marco rubio, it's just sad that these guys are groveling. i mean they're falling over themselves to try out, to get this job, to grovel at his feet, to kiss his feet. it's not a show of strength. what they're trying to show is they're weak enough to be the vice president that donald trump really wants. >> yeah, tim, i mean your thoughts on marco rubio and the just appalling transformation begging and scraping at the alter of trump. >> yeah, that's a great point claire said the weakness, you need weakness to get it. i think the

vance doesn't like the result of that. so his proposal is i will hold the government of the united states hostage and not do my job, not advanced nominations, not consider them not to all the things i'm supposed to be as us senator because i don't like the results of a trial in new york. it's a ridiculous comment, then it's it's when you're running for vice president, you pull over on the side of the road and you get on some camera and you say stuff like that and that's what we're seeing. >> so matt mauer is we have some breaking news. i want you to respond to this. i don't even know what it says myself, former congresswoman levs cheney, former house republican leader in terms, i think she was conference chair now she's out of the out of the congress and a very strong trump critics. she just posted on twitter or acts about this mcconnell trump photo saying in part, quote, trump and his collaborators will be defeated and history we will remember the shame of people like leader mcconnell, who enabled them what your take on l

i think rubio and vance have been helping him with these policy refreshers.ly, do you think the marriage is in terms of having anybody talk to trump ahead of the debate, given his performances prior? >> i also get a kick out of the policy refreshers. he can't admit it. he can't admit it. prepping, because of his ego or whatever. so they come up with this nonsense talk. it is worth noting, like the reality, is donald trump did improve between the 2016 and 2020 debate. excuse me, the first debate in 2020 and the second debate in 2020. it did not help then. donald trump has a lot of flaws, but he is capable of taking some feedback and sanding down his rougher edges, if he does not get triggered. i think that is joe biden's job during the debate. joe biden is to be presidential and put forward the policy agenda, but he also has to get under trump skin a little bit because he will try to be the calm for trump version. not calm for a normal politician, but calm for trumpian biden will try to bring the real trump back. >> home for trump is a category unto itself. i

that is the marco rubio, not jd vance or jd vance is a lightweight jd vance can contorno himself in the pretzels. he's addie africa. he fit sits, he doesn't stand for anything. kamala harris with literally shred him, shred burgum. marco rubio's formidable because he's been in the stove before he has. if marco rubio is able to talk to a spanish voters throughout the country, not just in florida, but arizona, nevada it it becomes a problem. and marco rubio looks like the future of the country. the problem is marco rubio's ambition is probably not sexy to donald trump i think if he picks jd vance, if he's worried about shaping the republican party after he leaves he picks doug burgum league. he's worried about running the government if he wins, and he thinks marco rubio, if he's worried about winning the election those three personality wise, i think we can all pick option c, but everybody is from psychologically but everybody would have read it that if he chooses nikki haley this is a completely different race, right? yeah. i don't know if she take it, but i'll tell you one thing. we can

, vance won the vp straw poll at the turning point, action convention. that's a conservative event aimed at college students. we should no. at the straw poll is far from a scientific survey and does not represent the larger republican electorate. cnn's jeff zeleny joins us now jeff, i'm going to start with senator vance, who was asked this weekend, what would make a good running mate for trump? here's what he said. >> this applies to the vice president and there are a lot of smart good people that trump is looking at. but it also applies to our senators it applies to our congressmen and women two, we need to have people who are supporting trump not tried to stab him in the back. it's very, very simple. >> the push for loyalty there. if trump is looking for a loyal fighter on the ticket and one who says loyalty is incredibly important for everyone else. do jd vance showing that he is capable and willing capable and willing and flexible because we all remember back in 2016, he was one of those republicans who is very critical cool of donald trump, but look

vance is 39 years old.le of years, he's very much in touch with that movement. donald trump jr., the president's eldest son has publicly said that vance should be the pick, which is another item in his favor, or doug burgum ran for president himself, didn't get very far, quickly endorsed trump and started spending time with him on the campaign trail. >> let me ask you quickly about senator marco rubio, though, you report he's also still being considered for the position, but apparently there's some doubt about his current standing. what's behind that? >> the doubts are lingering with him. residency issue. he and trump are registered to vote in florida. rubio would likely have to move. there are concerns about how that would work. i just mentioned all the things that burgum and vance have been doing for trump over the last few months. rubio has done left. he has been on cable tv but didn't go to the trial. he hasn't been headlining all of these fundraisers and showing up at the rallies as much as the other t

vance is doing. formed a super pac. trying to tie up the black vote.ually raising money with a super pac for trump. so i think that also adds a lot. people are sincerely on board in 2016 they weren't. in 202024 president has machine going. >> ainsley: byron donds is on the list. is he strong. >> steve: also florida, that's a problem. >> he is going to have a future in politics. >> steve: one other note about marco rubio. because he and the president are florida residents. they have behind the scenes worked out a plan where he could he could go to another state. could be a battleground state where marco rubio moved to i'm not going to say two states i heard but he would help put those in the trump column. >> brian: do you want senate race. j.d. vance had a very tough race fill to see the. do you want to open up a ohio race? do you want to open up a florida race? >> steve: he is on the show today. >> lawrence: i will say a final point there was all this talk about confusion within the republican party. it looks like nikki haley, to other folks that chall

vance is if man. we have to win a rust belt state. j.d., rubio, berg ham, j.d. vance, under the age of 40, can help with younger voters. >> brendan, what do you think? is j.d. vance the right guy to help donald trump bring in those voters? does he bring in anyone new? >> i don't know that a vp brings anyone new at all. i think j.d. vance is clearly the most well suited trump-like person to take that mantle. he has completely embraced what it means to be a trumpist, a populist, anti-immigrant, anti-trade, anti-corporate, all the things that donald trump has come to define his policy around, j.d. vance has been there from the beginning. all the others are sort of awkward fits to me. marco rubio -- everyone has adopted it. j.d. varns sort of rose to prominence in that way. he's also a very skilled entertainer, performative politician in a way that donald trump likes. it seems like a natural fit for me. i don't know that it adds a lot, but it might make donald trump feel well to have a guy like that next to him. >> brendan buck, thank you for

vance in washington in the month of march.d hey, i want you to meet my friend david sacks. as it turns out, it sounds like they are quite aligned politically, and now they are going to be having this fundraiser tonight. >> ainsley: we are a little more than a month away from the rnc. that starts on july 15th. so that means we'll probably find out who his v.p. pick will be. >> lawrence: right before. >> ainsley: coming up right before. or maybe there and fox news is reporting the presidential -- the vice presidential contender ares, four of them at least, have received the vetting papers. and that would be marco rubio, tim scott, doug burgum and j.d. vance. there are some others on the list that he is apparently looking at apparently. tom cotton, byron dondz and elise stefanik. >> lawrence: if you want to know out of this bunch shot biggest. look at the democrats and who they are attacking right now. look at the social media and some of the ads they have already released. they have done tim scott. byron donalds, they have attac

one word on j d vance, ohio as a red state, jd vance wasn't always a supporter, he brought him to siliconvalley donors. there's a major fundraiser in silicon valley at david sachs's house, jd vance. stuart: thanks a lot. back to the markets please. we've got a nice gain for the dow and a tiny little loss for the nasdaq. nvidia past apple and market value. it's value. it's the second most valuable company in the world. why do you call nvidia the most important company to our civilization for decades to come? that is pretty strong stuff? can you justify that? >> absolutely, thanks for having me. a number of reasons and i will give you three. first off, the gpu on the hardware side of things will be the most important mention of all our lifetimes and holds the keys moving towards more ai driven world and jensen being inventor of the gpu, really driving the modernist kind of computing capability at events out there on the technology side of things. look at the 7 or 8 years that we've seen the gpu improve computing north of one thousand times, that's the geopolitical side of things. nvidia the

do you believe rubio, burgum, vance?im look good and not have a horrible laugh. proud cuban-american, jd vance, they think alike. trump will pick well-known tv host trace gallagher. of course he will. what a lineup. i'm coming east. my wishlist is either -- burgum, stop stealing from elected positions, we need the senate and republican control janice, i think nikki haley. thank you for joining america's late news, "fox news @ night".ae i'm trace gallagher and we wills u right back here tomorw night. knew this first hand, they created a boat that was more affordable... tracker, the world's #1 one best selling fishing and pontoon boats powered by mercury. proudly built in missouri and sold factory direct at bass pro shops and select dealers. for as little as 5 dollars a day... you can own a brand new tracker and make lifelong memories of your own. bass pro shops. voted america's best outdoor retailer. save even more and support conservation when you join the club. force factor total beets is the number one beets brand in a

sessions with aids, advisers, and lawmakers including the north dakota governor and the senators jd vance and marco rubio, all of whom are contenders to be vice president. there discussing how to respond to inevitable questions about trump's recent criminal conviction and his role in the january 6 insurrection of how to rein in the former president's rhetoric. the last point is particularly notable. the campaign has repeatedly and often unfairly used selectively edited clips to betray biden as old and feeble minded, but trump is prone to gaffes as well. during a speech last week, he bragged about acing a cognitive test and then repeatedly got the doctor's name wrong. he has mcduck president biden and obama multiple times before and once confused nikki haley with nancy pelosi. for those who are not familiar with his long-winded speeches, his long winded ramblings will sounds absolutely incoherent. when his teleprompter malfunctioned in nevada earlier the month he went off script and told a long and meandering story involving and m.i.t. professor, electric boats, and whether he prefers elec

jd vance was asked about this. you have tim scott, i believe spending $14 million on an ad campaign. >> they're doing a lot to try to get that vp slot. >> they're just not saying that. yeah. >> there's the question of does it help in other parts of the ticket, tim scott, maybe helps with black voters. trump just got to hello percent supportive blackboards in 2020, at least to phonic. she up with women. he just got 42%. he's gonna do better in both groups, but vice presidential candidates don't always change the equation. >> yeah, we often have this kind of discussion with them when we know this is going to be probably about the top of the ticket with it does du obviously set up a vice presidential debate between this person and vice president harris. but i think these kind of normal calculations is what donald trump is going through. what we can bet on is the show. he is announcing this as the republican national committee. he's hoping he's hosting an apprentice like trial that was at new hampshire after the primar

vance, doug burgham.their candidacies and others who might be on the list. >> to start they all have their pros and cons. as you mentioned the president has been looking for someone who will exhibit characteristics of someone who will be super loyal to his america first agenda. they've also been discussing people who are good on tv, who can vouch for him and his policies in the next administration. but i think what's particularly interesting in some rallies and interviews that he's done is that former president donald trump has mentioned that he's also looking for someone who would be a good president, which in my mind alludes to two things, one someone who could take over the reins, be a good leader for the nation should something happen in this next administration, but also someone who can lead the party in a new generational energy and leadership coming in. and when we look at the three or four candidates that have risen to the top spots, you know, senator tim scott, north dakota governor doug burgum,
