Trump: Rubio not being considered for VP

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is denying the information about his search for a running mate that Ben Carson reportedly gave The Washington Post, saying specifically that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is not being considered. 

The @washingtonpost report on potential VP candidates is wrong. Marco Rubio and most others mentioned are NOT under consideration.

The Post reported that Carson said Rubio, John Kasich, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie and Sarah Palin are on Trump’s short list for vice president.

{mosads}In his response to the article on social media, Trump didn’t mention any of the other potential VP contenders by name, saying only that Rubio and “most others mentioned” are not being vetted for the position. 

Rubio said recently he does not want to be considered for Trump’s running mate.
