A new report from Bloomberg has revealed President Trump has ruled out former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy as a Vice President pick.
The report revealed that Trump personally told Ramaswamy he wouldn’t be his vice president pick.
Trump, however, did not rule out the entrepreneur for a possible cabinet position.
The report comes just days after a report surfaced that Trump is no longer considering Gov. Kristi Noem and Sen. Tim Scott as VP nominees.

Here’s what Bloomberg reported:
Donald Trump has ruled out Vivek Ramaswamy as his running mate and is instead eyeing the entrepreneur for a Cabinet job, according to people familiar with the matter, as the Republican presidential nominee sizes up a possible administration.
Trump personally told Ramaswamy he won’t be his vice presidential pick, according to people briefed on the discussion, but is considering him for posts including Homeland Security secretary. Some Trump allies see Ramaswamy as ideal for the job because they say he excels at public speaking and, as an Indian-American son of an immigrant, could neutralize criticism of sweeping immigration restrictions.
Their conversation is just one of many Trump has had recently with allies about administration positions as he seized hold of the Republican nomination. Loyalty, ideological compatibility and perceived electoral power are the metrics by which Trump is evaluating possible picks, according to people familiar with the process who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Those who have impressed Trump and his team for possible Cabinet roles include another former GOP primary foe, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, as well as Representative Elise Stefanik and former US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.

Per The Daily Mail:
Donald Trump has said none of the current front runners for vice president impress him – and he has even reportedly snubbed firm favorite Vivek Ramaswamy.
Trump, 77, has personally told the multi-millionaire former biotech executive Ramaswamy that he won’t be his vice presidential pick, according to Bloomberg, as he weighs up candidates on their loyalty and dress sense.
Sources who were briefed on the conversation told the outlet that Trump was eyeing him up for a cabinet post – potentially Homeland Security secretary – instead.
