Donald Trump Unlikely to Pick a Woman or Minority as VP Running Mate, Campaign Chairman Says
By MEGHAN KENEALLY May 26, 2016, 2:53 PM ET
The possibility of appearing to pander is among the reasons Donald Trump would be unlikely to pick a woman or a minority as his vice presidential running mate, his campaign chairman says.
In an interview with The Huffington Post, Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort offered some insight into how the presumptive Republican nominee might pick his campaign partner.
Manafort said that selecting a woman or minority, which some have suggested as a way for Trump to strengthen ties to those voting groups, probably won't happen.
"In fact, that would be viewed as pandering, I think," Manafort said.
Trump commented on the issue at a news conference later this afternoon, saying that Manafort "was misquoted a couple of times," without going into specifics.
