MILWAUKEE — With Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) now officially the GOP vice presidential nominee, other top contenders on Donald Trump’s short list are set to return to the spotlight as the focus turns to who the former president would tap to fill his Cabinet should he be reelected. 

More than a half-dozen names cropped up on Trump’s initial short list, ranging from the House to the Senate to statewide offices. Each of the contenders brings with them a different skill set and area of expertise — something Republicans say offers Trump a “good bench” to choose from.
