Mike Pence was his first choice for a running mate, as reports emerge that he considered changing his VP pick at the last second.

Trump called Pence “my first choice from start” in a tweet hyping Saturday’s joint press conference with the Indiana governor.

The tweet is an apparent response to reports Friday that Trump got cold feet just before announcing Pence as his running mate.

CNN reported that Trump held meetings with advisors late Thursday night to figure out whether he could change his VP pick, after already telling Pence he had chosen him.

Trump campaign staffer Jason Miller on Friday said the CNN report was “completely false.”

Trump announced Pence as his running mate Friday morning via a tweet.

His shortlist reportedly included Pence, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Speaker Newt Gingrich.
