Rubio and Burgum cut from Trump's VP list

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum have each been told they won't be former President Trump's choice as vice presidential nominee, Axios has learned. Trump is expected to unveil his running mate on Monday afternoon.

Why it matters: Rubio was on Trump's shortlist but there were concerns over the two sharing the same state of residency, which would draw constitutional concerns and legal challenges. Trump previously said he was concerned by the severity of a near-total abortion ban that Burgum signed in 2023.
