Trump tweets Pence is his VP choice

WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump says on Twitter that he’s picked Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate.

Trump says he’ll hold a news conference on Saturday morning.

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.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 15, 2016

Trump had originally planned to announce his running mate on Friday. But he delayed the announcement because of the attacks in Nice, France, late Thursday.

Pence had already flown to New York before Trump announced the postponement.
