In just one month, the Republican and Democratic nominations will get underway. It's then, that we'll know for sure who Clinton and Trump will choose as their running mates. But for now, Americans have some guesses.

Google released data of the most common searches for "Trump" and "Vice President" this past week. Taking the top spot is Senator Jeff Sessions, a Republican from Alabama. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice takes the second spot. And former House Speaker Newt Gingrich comes in third.

But are any of these politicians actually being considered for the position? Senator Sessions said just this morning he'd happily consider joining Trump. Rice simply said she's not interested. And Gingrich hasn't talked about the subject, but is actively campaigning on Trump's behalf.

As for the Clinton campaign, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is the #1 most searched Vice Presidential pick. Bernie Sanders, who's still in the race himself, takes the number two spot. And Julian Castro, the current Secretary of Housing and Urban Development comes in third.

How likely are any of these politicians to actually be chosen to run with Clinton? Senator Warren has been asked if she'd like to run with Clinton and hasn't directly answered the question. Sanders hasn't answered the question either, simply saying he'd going to do whatever he can to stop Trump. And Castro said this past Friday he is unlikely to be offered the job, but didn't say he'd turn it down if it was offered to him.
