Until the very end, some people close to Donald Trump tried to talk the former
president out of picking Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate.

Aboard Trump’s plane en route to Milwaukee for the Republican National
Convention, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) argued that Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) would
be better than the untested Vance because the Cuban American senator might
attract more votes in battleground states. He tried to recruit others on Trump’s
plane to support his position, according to people with knowledge of the
discussions.
