Donald Trump's list of potential running mates is dwindling - here are the 10 people who might still be considered

Speculation over whom Donald Trump might select as his running mate in the 2016 presidential race has reached a fever pitch as only a couple of weeks remain until this summer's GOP convention.

The Manhattan billionaire, who is now the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party, told the Associated Press in May that he was down to a list of "five or six people."

On Friday, an aide with the Trump campaign told The New York Times the Manhattan billionaire was planning on unveiling his running mate ahead of the Cleveland convention.

Trump dropped some hints earlier this year that he would look for someone with experience in government, as opposed to an outsider like himself.

"I would want somebody that could help me with government, so most likely that would be a political person," the real-estate mogul has said.

"You want somebody that can help you with legislation, getting it through," he added.

Trump launched his White House campaign last summer with almost no support from the type of politicians who would fit the description of the word.

After dominating the race month after month, Trump finally started securing endorsements from governors and members of Congress whom he could consider for his administration. Now, as the presumptive nominee, he has a lengthy list of potential fits to consider.

Here are a few of the politicians Trump might look to as vice president.
