Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski will oversee the vice-presidential search

By Robert Costa May 10 at 10:06 AM

Political adviser Beth Myers headed up the process for Mitt Romney. Washington lawyer A.B. Culvahouse managed the selection for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). Now, Corey Lewandowski will have that responsibility for Donald Trump.

Lewandowski, Trump’s traveling confidant and campaign manager, will be in charge of the team that will survey and vet potential vice-presidential candidates for the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, two top Republicans said.

The two Republicans familiar with Lewandowski’s responsibilities spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss their private conversations with the Trump campaign, which is planning to ramp up the vice-presidential search in the coming weeks.

Lewandowski formally took charge of the hunt for a running mate last week and has since been described inside and outside of the campaign as the point person for all related questions and meetings, the Republicans said.

Ben Carson Is Off Trump’s VP Vetting Team

After selecting a list of names for the team to vet, Ben Carson has stepped
away from the vice presidential selection team.

Ben Carson is becoming the jack of all trades for Donald Trump’s campaign.

After being tapped to join a vice presidential selection committee last week, Carson has stepped away to focus on other things, according to his business manager, Armstrong Williams.

“What Trump wanted from Carson were names of who he would recommend for a potential candidate. He was among several other people making recommendations,” Williams described Carson’s role to The Daily Beast. “Once those names were submitted, they decided to have (Corey) Lewandowski head up.”

Carson simply came up with a list of names he recommended to Trump and will now be focusing on preparing Trump for a meeting with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan on Thursday—meant to serve as an opportunity to put their differences aside and unite the party going forward.

[font size=5]Campaign chief to oversee Trump U.S. vice presidential search[/font]

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. ....
