This is the best summary I could come up with:
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, had been focused on three finalists: Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Gov.
But the search process has been closely guarded by the former president and top advisers, with everything from timing to the identity of his choice largely up to Trump himself.
Rubio was told early Monday afternoon, just hours before the pick was to be made public, that he would not be the selection.
They were concerned about going through the process of uprooting Rubio's family and moving to satisfy the residency requirement only to have it tossed aside through a legal challenge.
The assassination attempt against Trump at his Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, could have altered the timing or sent the search in other directions.
In the days before the Pennsylvania rally, Trump had a series of final check-ins with the finalists, three sources familiar with the discussions told NBC News.
