Donald Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, will oversee the presumptive Republican U.S. presidential nominee's search for a running mate, a campaign aide said on Tuesday.
Lewandowski last week took over the vice presidential selection process and is drawing up a list of potential candidates and speaking with Republican Party figures, two top Republicans told the Washington Post, which first reported the move.
The two Republicans said they expected lawyers or a law firm to help vet Trump's short list of candidates, the Post reported.
The Trump campaign aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Lewandowski is leading the effort but would not elaborate.
Trump has said he is considering some of his former rivals for the Republican nomination. But some already have ruled themselves out or declared they will not support the billionaire businessman. One of those was U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who on Monday sought to quash speculation he might emerge as the running mate, saying he still has deep reservations about Trump.
Trump has bristled at Republicans who publicly have taken themselves out of the running. The day after Rubio's announcement, Trump wrote in a Twitter post, "It is only the people that were never asked to be VP that tell the press that they will not take the position."
Trump has said he plans to select a Republican with political experience as his choice for vice president.

He IS PART of the NWO!!!! These people WILL never give up on their view of a WORLD with NO BORDERS!!!! America BEING just like any other 3rd world country!!!!
That would be insane. Do we really need Bush's national security advisor and SecState as VP? She is a big amnesty supporter as well.
No token candidates.
It’s nice thinking but is there really an ideological fit?
She’s top shelf Soviet/Russian affairs. Only wartime experience in the mid-east. Probably behind on European matters. Probably does well in the pac rim. Tight lipped and hard to tell if she’s just super savvy or introverted. Nice age, 1 or 2 years younger would have been perfect.
What about Latin American experience?
The same thought here, as well. Perhaps Dr. Carson will be offering his expertise in other areas?
Mr. T. chose your best but please, please,please say NO Rubio. That choice could turn the tide against you.
Rand would be acceptable for many Trump players. Given history, Mr. T will work in choosing the best
Newt... Newt can get Trump’s idea made into law...
Nikki Halley may be a good score for him. If he can convince her to run and convince her that he leads in the dance.
Whoa, danger will robinson thought .... what if it’s Paul Ryan?
I think it will be Kasich.
I think it will be Kasich.
“NO Rubio. That choice could turn the tide against you.”
Rubio already said no chance
[ALLEN West is my TOP PICK!!!!]
Allen West has been very anti-Trump in his social messaging. I would think Trump would want people who have shown some semblance of positivity in his campaign.
Trump smells blood better not swim in his waters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb8t3Lt8iJw
It can’t be, my local news just told me KrispyKreme is in charge of the search committee.
OH MY I had NO IDEA West was NOT on board for Trump, I am quite SURPRISED!!!!
“I think it will be Kasich.”
It’d better not be Kasich. Or Nikki Haley or Rubio.
No open borders RINOS, please.
Christie is in charge of the transition team.
NO KASICH he IS a TRUE LIB!!!!! he should be a DEM!!!! He is also a MUSHY male NO WAY!!!!!
Roger Stone is available.
What a concept - vetting his potential Veep picks....
Go President Trump!
“Condi Rice.”
A Bushie? Hell No.
