With Trump set to be the GOP’s presidential candidate, who will he pick to be his running mate? There’s a whole host of Republicans lining up to take on the role – despite Trump’s backlog of legal battles and the questionable ways he treats those around him. But who has a chance – and who’s been completely ruled out already? Jacob Jarvis is joined in the Bunker by Politico’s senior political columnist and politics bureau chief Jonathan Martin, before taking a deep dive on some of the candidates with Bunker USA producer Chris Jones.
• “There are plenty of thirsty Republicans, as the kids would say, who are eager to take the risk.” – Jonathan Martin
• “I think the criteria is someone he can totally control… and in short someone who is not Mike Pence.” – Jonathan Martin
• “Ambition is a powerful drug and that’s obvious when it comes to US politics.” – Jonathan Martin
