As anticipation builds for who former President Donald Trump will choose as his 2024 running mate, the 45th president said in an interview released Thursday he would likely announce it at the Republican Convention this summer.

The convention is slated for July in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a key battleground state in the 2024 election that President Trump won in 2016 but narrowly lost to President Joe Biden in 2020.
