Donald Trump told the New York Times on Wednesday that Ben Carson will sit on his committee to help select a running mate now that the real estate mogul is the presumptive Republican nominee.

“I’ll set up a committee, and that I will do soon,” Trump said when asked how he will choose a vice presidential running mate. “I think on the committee I’ll have Dr. Ben Carson and some other folks.”

Trump said that he likely won’t make a final decision until July, and that he will look for “a political person” to run with him.
