Trump to pick Mike Pence as VP, say sources

Multiple sources have reported that Donald Trump will select Indiana Governor Mike Pence as VP.

Trump is scheduled to make the official announcement tomorrow at 11 am in New York.

Pence was among a small group of potential running mates that included Newt Gingrich and Chris Christie.

The governor is facing a tough re-election battle in his home state, and so this opportunity provides some political breathing room for him.

Pence is a socially and fiscally conservative Republican and therefore friendlier to the party’s traditional platform than Trump.

The GOP Convention will take place next week in Cleveland.
