Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) has a suggestion for Donald Trump’s running mate — his daughter Ivanka.
“His best running mate, by the way, would be Ivanka,” Corker said Wednesday after removing himself from consideration to be Trump’s vice presidential pick.
{mosads}”I know that wouldn’t pass muster, probably, but I don’t know that I’ve met a more composed, brilliant, beautiful-in-every-way person,” he continued, adding that Trump’s son Eric is “equally impressive.”
The U.S. Constitution requires a person to be at least 35 years to be president or vice president. Ivanka will turn 35 on Oct. 30, a little more than a week before Election Day.
She’s expected to take a prime speaking spot at the Republican National Convention later this month and has frequently appeared with her father on the campaign trail.
Corker dropped out of the VP competition one day after campaigning with the presumptive GOP presidential nominee in Tennessee.
“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,” Corker told The Washington Post.
