Donald Trump Picks Mike Pence as Vice Presidential Running Mate
Donald Trump has announced that he selected Mike Pence as his Vice Presidential running mate.
“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,” the presumptive Republican nominee tweeted on Friday morning (July 15).
The news conference was supposed to happen on Friday, but was delayed in light of the terrorist attack in France on Thursday night.
Mike started his career in talk radio, is a former congressional leader, and currently is the Governor of Indiana. The announcement had to come today as candidates can’t run for both federal and state office after July 15, so Mike had to halt his campaign to be re-elected as governor.
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.
