No, I think he will pick someone who he perceives to be the most loyal. A total subservient who can never ever aspire to the contingency of that office.
Normally money would do it. But I think loyalty will matter more.
And someone who WON'T make anyone say "well what if we just had the VP as our president?"
They have to be the kind of person no one would imagine in that office. (Though, for me, that was Trump from day one... so shows what I know about THAT)
