Will Trump Pick J.D. Vance as VP this week?

Trump will hold one of last rallies before the RNC convention this Saturday.

Trump will visit Butler County, Pa., a predominantly white and largely rural area about 50 miles east of the Ohio border that has long supported Republican presidential candidates.

The county is nestled in a region near the state’s western border where pro-gun, pro-coal voters — less diverse and less highly educated than the rest of the state — have mostly shed past ties to the Democratic Party and have become reliable Republican supporters.

The location would seem to be an ideal setting to introduce Mr. Vance, the former venture capitalist and best-selling author of “Hillbilly Elegy.”

He would appear to offer more natural appeal to Mr. Trump’s white, working-class base than would Mr. Burgum, a wealthy former software executive, or Mr.

Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants and a fluent Spanish speaker.
