Trump expected to make VP announcement on Friday
Mr Pence introduced Mr Trump at a campaign rally in Westfield, Indiana, on Tuesday evening.
Pence opened the rally with glowing words for Trump, and critical words for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and establishment politicians.
Rex Early, the Chairman of Trump’s campaign in IN has high hopes that Pence will still be chosen as Trump’s running mate. Newt Gingrich is also at the top of that short list.
Pence, in a sharply delivered speech, said Trump understands the American people like no one since former President Ronald Reagan. “She was so guilty”. Time Magazine has New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie still in the running, though his hometown paper says that’s unlikely. “I don’t know if he’s going to be your governor or your vice president”.
“I think Donald Trump is the kind of leader and the kind of fighter who’s going to bring about the change we need in D.C, so the prosperity we’re seeing here in IN can be the prosperity we enjoy all across the USA”, said Pence.
But as campaign officials confirmed Tuesday, Trump’s VP announcement will not come during these major events, instead, later this week. Some of Gingrich’s allies have been “heavily lobbying” the campaign, one of the source’s told CNN. I’ve been part of the process. We’ll see what happens over the next two to three days. “I’m not doing this for games”, Trump said. “It’s a little like “Apprentice” – you see in a few days who the last one standing is”, Gingrich said. “We were very moved by how gracious and kind they were to our family. That would be announced either at the fundraiser or out at Westfield, so I was wrong”, he said Tuesday.
