Reports surfaced on Thursday afternoon that presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump picked Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his vice president (VP).
“As Trump narrowed in on his choice of Pence, the two men spent time at both Trump’s golf resort in New Jersey in early July and at the Indiana governor’s mansion this week,” Roll Call notes, citing an anonymous Republican source for the report.
The New York Times and CBS have also reported the pick is Pence.
However, the Trump campaign is denying this is true.
1/2 A decision has not been made by Mr. Trump. He will be making a decision in the future…

***UPDATE***
A Republican source with information on Gov. Mike Pence’s travel schedule confirmed to Breitbart News that Pence is Trump’s VP. Pence will be returning to Indiana as part of his first stop on his tour as VP.
***UPDATE — 3:58 PM EDT***
Trump himself denies that he has made a final decision in a radio interview with Michael Savage.
***UPDATE***
Trump posted on Twitter that he is delaying his vice presidential announcement in light of the terrorist attack in Nice, France.
In light of the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have postponed tomorrow's news conference concerning my Vice Presidential announcement.

Trump tells Michael Savage on VP: "I haven’t made that decision yet. I’ll make it today, maybe tomorrow."
