Hey OnPolitics readers! Former President Donald Trump's campaign has stepped up its vice presidential search , requesting detailed information from at least four of the top contenders.

North Dakota Gov. Doug BurgumFlorida Sen. Marco RubioOhio Sen. J.D. Vance, and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott have all been asked to submit background information to the Trump campaign, according to two people familiar with the process, USA TODAY's David Jackson reported. The presumptive Republican nominee said he would probably hold off on an official announcement until the Republican convention, July 15-18 in Milwaukee.

📢Campaign increased activity on VP front: The campaign has increased activity on the running mate front now that his hush money trial is over. A  New York jury convicted Trump of falsifying business records in order to hide hush money payments to an adult film star from voters, all in an effort to influence the 2016 election

Who are some other possible running mates? Trump and his aides have discussed a number of other possible running mates, including Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson. One other name has been discouraged by Trump: Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, a fierce primary rival of the former president.

Things could change: Sources cautioned the situation is fluid and could always change as the Republican convention approaches.
