Manafort: Women, Minorities Not on Trump's VP List to Avoid 'Pandering'

Manafort: Women, Minorities Not on Trump's VP List to Avoid 'Pandering'

Thursday, 26 May 2016 01:29 PM EDT

Donald Trump is still weighing who his vice presidential running mate will be, but women and minorities are probably not in the mix, his campaign chairman Paul Manafort says.

"In fact, that would be viewed as pandering, I think," Manafort told The Huffington Post.

Manafort's remark is the first indication of how Trump is paring down his list for the No. 2 leader in the White House.

"He needs an experienced person to do the part of the job he doesn't want to do. He seems himself more as the chairman of the board, than even the CEO, let alone the COO," Manafort said.

"There is a long list of who that person could be and every one of them has major problems."
