Sen. Corker Opts Out of Consideration for Trump’s VP

Sen. Bob Corker is taking himself out of a pool of potential vice president picks for presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, according to the Tennessee senator’s office.

The Republican senator appeared on stage at Trump's campaign rally Tuesday.

Corker, who appeared on ABC News’ “This Week” a month ago, said the likely Republican presidential nominee would have to begin to adjust his tone as he moves toward the 2016 GOP convention unopposed.

“They’ve moved beyond the primary process this week to move to the World Series of this election,” Corker, 63, told George Stephanopoulos. “I think that he’s going to have to change. I’m not talking about him necessarily changing his views, but I think that he’s moving into a different phase, he’s talking to the right people.”

Corker's move to take himself out of consideration was first reported by the Washington Post.
