Who will be Donald Trump’s running mate? Here are five options [View all]

With Donald Trump as the Republican party’s presumptive nominee , it’s time for him to start contemplating a running mate. Here are five options for the veep stakes for the outsider who has often said he would look for a number two with political experience:

Chris Christie

Christie’s endorsement of Trump was a pivotal moment for the campaign. But while the New Jersey governor has been a helpful and loyal surrogate, he doesn’t add any geographic balance or conservative credentials. Plus, the footage of Christie standing behind Trump looking like a hostage on Super Tuesday doesn’t help.

Newt Gingrich

The former House speaker and 2012 presidential hopeful has long been a rare pro-Trump voice in Washington

Mike Huckabee

Joni Ernst

Mary Fallon
