Corker to meet with Trump, feeding VP speculation

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), whom some see as a contender to be Donald Trump’s running mate, will meet with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee on Monday, according to a Washington Post report.

Corker, who has yet to offer a full-throated endorsement of Trump, nonetheless has been warm about his willingness to support the billionaire and has encouraged fellow Republicans to unite behind the candidate.

“I can’t imagine why people are taking this position of ‘never this, never that.’ Let’s work with him,” Corker said earlier this month. “I’ve seen some flexibility already. We want good things to happen for our country.”

Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, would instantly give deeper establishment support to a Trump ticket, particularly on issues of diplomacy and national security.
