Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker has withdrawn himself for consideration as Donald Trump’s running mate in November, according to a national report.
The Washington Post said Corker confirmed in an interview Wednesday that he has taken himself out of consideration for Vice President.
Micah Johnson confirmed the comments that Corker made during the interview in which the senator said, "There are people far more suited for being a candidate for vice president, and I think I'm far more suited for other types of things."
This comes just one day after Corker appeared with Trump at a campaign rally in North Carolina.
Corker, Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, had reportedly been on the short list of potential candidates for the V.P. spot.
Speculation was at a fever pitch after Corker visited Trump at Trump Tower in May.
But a few weeks later, Corker publicly criticized the Republican nominee for his words against a judge with Mexican heritage, saying he disagreed with Trump completely.
