Jeff Sessions is on Donald Trump's shortlist for a potential vice presidential running mate, according to reports.

The New York Post said Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has narrowed down his list of potential running mates. The list includes Sessions, Alabama's junior Senator, as well as a retired general and a Washington lawmaker.

Sessions, the first Senator to endorse Trump, is advising him on foreign policy and immigration matters.

Sessions has previously said he'd not discussed the VP job with Trump but the candidate himself seemed to indicate he'd likely choose someone with political experience as his running mate.

"I want somebody that can walk into the Senate and who's been friendly with these guys for 25 years, and people for 25 years. And can get things done. So I would 95 percent see myself picking a political person as opposed to somebody from the outside," Trump said.

Other names on the list, according to the New York Post, are Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, who met with Trump in New York last week, and Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Former Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson, who is helping Trump vet his VP list, previously said the list would likely also include Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sarah Palin, former Alaska Gov. and 2008 vice presidential running mate with John McCain's failed presidential bid.
