Donald Trump: Who will be his running mate?

It’s official. Donald Trump is the Republican presidential nominee – now he’s got to pick a running mate.

Donald Trump is officially the Republican presidential nominee. It comes as no shock with the New York billionaire running unopposed since early May.

With this landmark reached, Mr Trump can start making preparations for his bid for the White House.

This includes choosing a running mate who will act as the nominee for the vice-presidency. So far, Mr Trump has kept his cards close to his chest, saying there is a shortlist of five or six names and that it will be announced at the Republican National Convention in July.

Because of Mr Trump’s divisive campaigning, it’s easier to rule people out, than say who makes up the shortlist.
