Sen. Rob Portman has been cited as a leading choice to be named Mitt Romney’s running mate, but in an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV he downplays vice presidential talk and says he is entirely focused on getting Romney elected president.
The Ohio Republican served in the U.S. House from 1993 to 2005. He also served in the George W. Bush administration as U.S. Trade Representative and later as Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Portman was elected to the Senate in 2010.
Addressing the running mate talk and reports that he confirmed he had meetings recently with Mitt Romney’s campaign staff, Portman tells Newsmax: “I actually did not confirm that I had spoken with those folks, but I did say that I was in Boston this week doing some fundraising and we had six different events and meetings on the fundraising front, and all I said was that there were Romney staff present, which there were.
