Though Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is seen as a shortlister to be former President Donald Trump’s running mate this year, the two men reportedly didn’t discuss the matter when they last spoke.

This weekend, President Trump hosted a fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida, during which wealthy donors heard from several contenders to become President Trump’s running mate. Mr. Scott’s name has often been speculated as being near the top of that list.
