Donald Trump Just Made a Huge Announcement About His Vice President Pick
By Associated Press. Donald Trump, the Republicans’ presumptive presidential nominee, says he’s narrowed his list of potential running mates to “five or six people,” all with deep political resumes.

Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump Pick up Victories, but Little Changes
By Emily Schultheis. Coming on the heels of a dramatic primary night last Tuesday, when Ted Cruz left the GOP race after losing in Indiana and effectively ceded the Republican nomination to Donald Trump, this week’s primaries largely stuck to expectations and did little to change the trajectory of the race.
On the Democratic side, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders won West Virginia’s Democratic primary, but his victory there will do little to help him close the deficit with Democrat Hillary Clinton in both pledged delegates and raw votes.
Sanders benefited from an open primary in West Virginia, in which independents could choose to vote in the Democratic or Republican primary. Of those who identified as independents — a full 34 percent of the Democratic electorate — exit polling finds Sanders had a 61-to-22 edge among those voters. Clinton, meanwhile, edged Sanders slightly among self-described Democrats, 49 percent to 46 percent.
With another victory under his belt, Sanders has a fresh data point for his decision to remain in the race — his campaign noted in a statement Tuesday night that this is now Sanders’ 19th win of the primary season.
