Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus argued Monday that presumptive nominee Donald Trump needs to add diversity to the ticket with his running mate choice in order to attract votes.

Priebus told radio host Hugh Hewitt Monday morning that it would be good for Trump to diversify the ticket in terms of age, ethnicity, experience or some other factor. Over the weekend, it was reported that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was on the shortlist for Trump, but Priebus seemed to argue to discount these rumors.
