Donald Trump selects Mike Pence as VP


Donald Trump said Friday Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is his choice to be his 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.





CNN reported Thursday that Trump had called Pence and offered him the vice presidential slot on his ticket. Pence has accepted.


The pick sets up a stark clash in styles: a brash presumptive nominee with a tendency to freelance into controversies alongside a cautious former congressional leader who's stuck close to conservative orthodoxy since starting his career in talk radio.


The Saturday event is currently scheduled to take place in Bedminster, New Jersey, CNN has learned.



Trump did his best to keep the drama going Thursday after a frenetic day.
