TOMORROW: Trump To Announce Running Mate

Chris Christie is apparently out. ABC News reports:

The mystery surrounding Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick has reached a new height as the crowd of candidates has apparently thinned.

Newt Gingrich expects to get a call from Trump about his vice presidential decision after 1 p.m. today, Gingrich told ABC News this morning via email.

When asked whether he would be surprised if Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is chosen instead, Gingrich wrote, “would not be surprised.”

Trump met Wednesday with Pence and the former speaker of the House, both of whom are believed to be either among the top contenders for the running-mate spot or the top contenders themselves. At least according to Gingrich.

During an interview with Fox News Wednesday, Gingrich suggested that the running mate will likely get the verdict this afternoon before Trump’s confirmed announcement of the decision Friday at 11 a.m. in New York.
