The importance of Trump's vice presidential pick has grown in recent weeks as commentators and Biden allies in the media have questioned the president's ability to continue in the race and the possibility of Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the Democratic nominee.

Miller declined to specify the leading candidates from among the frequently mentioned names, including Senators Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance, as well as North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. He stated that Trump had considered an even broader range of individuals.

The uncertainty surrounding Biden's health and the potential for a change in the Democratic ticket has added an additional layer of intrigue to Trump's vice presidential selection. Miller noted that the choice will impact the dynamics of the upcoming vice presidential debate.

Miller also criticized Biden's campaign efforts in key swing states such as Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia, asserting that they are a waste of time. He argued that Biden's limited stamina for campaign events highlights his declining capacity for the presidency and that Democrats are struggling even in their traditional strongholds.
