Out front next, the breaking news, Trump's VP list focusing on three candidates with his family and allies now split on whose best.

We'll tell you who wants whom.

Plus Steve Bannon, making a last ditch effort to stay out of prison, will show you the facility where he's set to serve his sentence.

And a man who has served time

there himself will tell us exactly what Bannon can expect. And more breaking news this hour,

1,000 people feared dead because of extreme heat. Temperatures as high as 125 degrees Fahrenheit.

Let's go out front. And good evening. I'm Erin Burnett. Outfront tonight, we begin with

the breaking news. Trump zeroing in on a VP. CNN with new reporting tonight because we are learning

it may come down two, three men here wearing identical ties. They are Ohio, Senator J.D. Vance,

North Dakota Governor Doug Bergam, and Florida

Senator Marco Rubio. All three are currently being vetted, and all three have high-profile

backers who are pleading their case directly to the former president. So let's start with

Trump's oldest son, Don Jr. He, we understand, currently going to bat with his doppelganger,

Senator J.D. Vance.

Rupert Murdoch is pressing Trump to consider Governor Bergam.

While one of Trump's most trusted television advisors, Sean Hannity, is making it known he'd like to see Senator Rubio on the ticket. For months, these three men have been campaigning for the job, positioning themselves to become Trump's pick,

frequently appearing on shows. They know Trump watches, showing up at fundraisers, rallies, courthouse,

of course, tripping over themselves to sing Trump's praises.

The world is on fire, and I sort of see Donald Trump as a bit of a fireman.

I wish every American could see President Trump the way we've seen him in the last six months.

He's genuinely exceedingly funny, but as you know, Jesse, the best comics are really smart people,

highly intelligent and highly perceptive, and they know their audiences.
