McMahon is the former chief of the WWE and earlier was in Trump’s first administration as administrator of the SBA.

Lutnick is the billionaire CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial company.

Vance is his pick for VP and Donald Jr. and Eric are family members who helped during his first term.

“The 2024 GOP Platform to Make America Great Again is a forward-looking agenda that will deliver safety, prosperity and freedom for the American people. My administration will deliver on these bold promises,” Trump said in a statement.

He added, ‘We will restore strength, competence and common sense to the Oval Office. I have absolute confidence the Trump-Vance Administration will be ready to govern effectively on Day One.”

A poll released on Friday noted that independents, that group that almost always determines an election winner, was choosing Trump 49%-40% over Kamala Harris as earlier voting starts in multiple states in just a few weeks.
