(Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump will not pick Florida Senator Marco Rubio or North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum to be his running mate, according to people familiar with the matter.
Trump said he plans to announce his running mate selection Monday as the Republican National Convention begins in Milwaukee.
Trump last week said Rubio and Burgum, along with Ohio Senator JD Vance, were among the four or five candidates he was considering. Reuters first reported that Trump had informed Rubio he would not be joining him on the ticket. Fox News first reported Burgum was not selected.
The potential legal challenges of having two people on the ticket from the same state complicated Rubio’s case, according to a person familiar with the talks who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.
