That would be reactionary (sign of weakness) and Trumps VP decision was likely made weeks ago. Vance was announced several days before Joes anouncement so that doesn't link together.

Ummmm...looks like you also need an update:
Donald Trump decided to choose JD Vance as his vice presidential candidate on Monday, July 15, 2024, just before the start of the Republican National Convention. Here are the key details:
Trump announced his decision on Monday afternoon via his Truth Social platform.
Trump called Vance with the news approximately 20 minutes before making the public announcement on social media.
The decision came after months of speculation and a prolonged selection process.
Trump had met with Vance at Mar-a-Lago on the Saturday before the announcement, which was described as "the final interview before getting the job".
Even in the 24 hours leading up to the announcement, Trump was still considering other candidates and receiving calls urging him to consider alternatives.
The timing of the announcement coincided with the opening of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
It's worth noting that Trump's decision-making process was characterized as involving chronic indecisiveness and last-minute deliberations, reminiscent of his approach in previous running mate selections.
