NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump has narrowed his vice presidential shortlist to a handful of contenders as he prepares to announce his pick in the days before, or perhaps at, next month’s Republican National Convention. He told reporters Saturday that he already has made his decision and that that person will be in attendance Thursday night in Atlanta at the first debate of the general election campaign with Democratic President Joe Biden. Some of the names thought to be on the shortlist are North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Sens. JD Vance of Ohio, Marco Rubio of Florida and Tim Scott of South Carolina, former Trump Cabinet member Ben Carson and Reps. Elise Stefanik of New York and Byron Donalds of Florida.
