Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., announced Wednesday that he has removed himself from consideration to be presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s running mate.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Corker said that he informed Trump that despite being a finalist for the position, he would not be moving forward with the process. The Tennessee Republican told Trump of the decision on Tuesday when the two sat for meetings in New York City and campaigned later that evening in North Carolina.
