Story highlights Sen. Bob Corker said Trump's daughter would be his best VP pick

Corker, who withdrew himself from consideration, says he was very impressed by all of Trump's family

Washington (CNN) When Sen. Bob Corker withdrew himself from consideration as Donald Trump's running mate Wednesday, he floated an alternative: the presumptive nominee's daughter.

"His best running mate, by the way, would be Ivanka," Corker told CNN's Manu Raju during an interview on Capitol Hill.

He noted that although he knew this option "would not pass muster," he found the presumptive Republican nominee's daughter "most impressive."

Eric Trump also praised Ivanka on Fox News on Thursday.
