Trump reportedly chooses Pence as vice presidential candidate

Governor Mike Pence and Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump address the crowd after Pence introuces Trump to the stage during a Trump rally in Westfield, Ind. on Tuesday evening.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has reportedly chosen Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his vice presidential candidate, the Indianapolis Star reported Thursday.

The choice comes after a week of Trump rallying with Pence and other running mate choices former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Trump visited Pence's home Wednesday morning following a rally the night before in Westfield, Indiana.

Trump tweeted out Tuesday night he would be announcing his choice at 11 a.m. Friday, but then delayed the announcement in light of the terrorist attack Nice, France.

State party leaders have up to 30 days after Friday to vote on a new nominee to run against Democratic nominee for governor John Gregg in November if Pence is indeed Trump's vice presidential pick.
