together in front of donors which is important for the former president who does well with donors and who is donors like so it will be an interesting weekend over there at mar-a-lago. host: how will it play out? by the way, will cameras be allowed to see this? guest: usually donor events are private so i don't expect there to be media coverage in the moment. to plug you what happens is after-the-fact or even during the event, there will be things that sort of start to leak out and you will start to hear things. it's going to be a multiple day so there will be luncheons and dinners and some people will be featured as speakers. it's going to be an expansive and lengthy process. these vice presidential hopefuls get to get in front of the donors and talk seriously and indirectly pitch themselves as to why they should be donald

trump's vice president. we don't know yet whether there will also be private meetings with donald trump himself. there hasn't been any formal meetings with him that we know of in terms of him sitting down with these folks and having direct conversations about why you should be my vice president. it's possible that starts to happen this weekend but we don't know yet. host: it will be interesting to hear from republicans, independence and democrats as well who are considering voting for the former president. who would you like to see him pick as his vice presidential running mate? here is how we are dividing lines for this conversation this morning -- democrats call in at (202) 748-8000, republicans, (202) 748-8001 and independents (202) 748-8002. you can text us with your thoughts on that as well at (202) 748-8003. include your first name, city and state or go to facebook.com/

c-span. why mix fundraising with this selection process? host: donald trump a lot of money to run his presidential campaign particularly because he's up against an incumbent. incumbents typically have more money than their opponents. in this case especially, you also have the reality that donald trump is facing multiple legal issues. a lot of his money he has raised is going toward that. that dips into a lower bucket compared to joe biden. there is an argument within trump world but not everybody in his orbit thinks this is important but certainly, a lot of people think there is an aspect of the vice presidential pick could help with something like fundraising. host: who will be there? which donors? guest: typically, donors are

private. a lot of the donors we don't know but donald trump's top donors are likely to be there. also people close to the vice presidential picks are likely to be there. host: will they be donating on their behalf? guest: perhaps indirectly but that's another thing -- tim scott has major donors and marco rubio has major donors and some of these are donors who don't necessarily love donald trump are perhaps willing to start putting their support behind him if these folks aren't directly involved. host: let's talk about the list of potential vp picks. first of all, who is crafting this list and then tell us who is on it and in what order. guest: the big question is who is crafting the list. really the person who will pick the vice president is donald trump himself. it is impossible to say for certain who donald trump wants

to pick at this point. any you see these articles and there are a lot of them and they are legitimate but any time see these articles where one or another is rising, it is often coming from the people around donald trump who have an idea of who donald trump is interested in but also have their own opinion of who they think should be vice president. that is where we are getting this general list. the name i am hearing most of them lately is doug bergom who has quietly risen in the ranks on this. host: he also ran. he ran for governor. of north dakota. guest: and senator tim scott who also ran. he is really the only presidential candidate against donald trump who has managed throughout this entire time to not frustrate the former
