UPDATED: Donald Trump has decided to postpone Friday’s VP announcement after the attack in Nice, which has left dozens dead.



Mike Pence, the governor of Indiana, is expected to be Trump’s running mate, multiple news outlets reported on Thursday.

According to CNN, Trump offered Pence the spot on his ticket and he accepted.

Pence, who has been governor of the Hoosier state since 2013, recently appeared with Trump in what had been considered a tryout of sorts. Trump has also made little secret of other names he had been considering, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Trump, who is fundraising in the Los Angeles area on Thursday, including on at his Beverly Hills home, had said that he would formally announce his running mate at a Friday press conference.

On Fox News on Thursday, Trump said had not made a “final, final decision.”

A spokeswoman for the campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pence’s name wasn’t included among the list of speakers scheduled for next week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, while Christie and Gingrich were on the list. That intensified speculation that Pence would be the choice.

Pence is a social conservative who does not have the national stature of Gingrich or Christie, and is far more low key than Trump. Pence did garner national attention last year after he signed religious freedom legislation that quickly became the sour of a backlash from LGBT groups, major corporations and civil rights groups. The law was later revised.

He also cut taxes in the state, and took a strong stand in trying to block the settlement of Syrian refugees in the state, citing security concerns.

Pence was also facing a potentially tough reelection race.

He hosted his own talk radio show in the 1990s and characterized himself as “Rush Limbaugh on decaf.”
