Newt Gingrich is reportedly Donald Trump's top pick for a possible running mate.

The Washington Post cites sources saying Gingrich leads a list of at least six potential candidates Trump's team is vetting.

This news comes after rumors circulated that Trump was considering New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for VP.

Gingrich told Fox News over the weekend that "nobody has called" from the Trump campaign to talk about a vice presidential nomination.

Trump is reportedly looking for a mainstream politician with a history in Washington. It also doesn't hurt that Gingrich already has a history battling the Clintons. He's seen as playing a key role in the push to impeach former President Bill Clinton.
