Trump Confirms Gov. Mike Pence as His Vice President Pick
Donald Trump has confirmed Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate via Twitter. He downplayed his original announcement plans after an attack in Nice, France, left more than 80 people dead.
The presumptive GOP nominee had planned to introduce his running mate at a news conference Friday morning in New York. He now plans to hold that news conference on Saturday at 11 a.m. ET.
I am pleased to announce that I have chosen Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate. News conference tomorrow at 11:00 A.M.
