Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas has unexpectedly emerged as a top contender to become Donald J. Trump's running mate, a signal that the former president is heavily weighing experience and the ability to run a disciplined campaign over other factors.
Mr. Trump's interest in Mr. Cotton, who won a second term in the Senate in 2020, reflects this do-no-harm mentality. The former president has said privately that he views Mr. Cotton as a reliable and effective communicator in cable news interviews.
