Two Potential Trump VPs Bow Out of Consideration
by FRANK THORP V, CARRIE DANN and KELLY O'DONNELL

Two of the top candidates under consideration to be Donald Trump's running mate said Wednesday that they have told the real estate mogul they're not interested in the job.

Just one day after appearing on the campaign trail with Donald Trump, Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker withdrew his name from consideration to be the Republican's VP pick, telling the Washington Post "I think I'm far more suited for other types of things." A senior aide confirmed Corker's decision to NBC News.

Shortly after news of Corker's decision broke, POLITICO reported that Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst - who met with Trump on Monday - told the presumptive GOP nominee that she's "focused on Iowa," all but taking her name out of consideration.

Sources confirmed to NBC News that Ernst does not see herself as a potential running mate on the GOP ticket and that she conveyed those wishes to Trump earlier this week.
