Presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump postponed a news conference scheduled for Friday in New York to announce his running mate after the deadly truck 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,” he wrote on Twitter Thursday, announcing his decision.
Trump said that as president, he would not allow people into the country from “terrorist nations” and would implement “extreme vetting.”
Earlier on Thursday, sources familiar with the Trump campaign’s vice presidential selection process confirmed to Fox News that steps are underway for Donald Trump to name Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate.
This comes as Pence gives his most public signal yet that he’s preparing for the announcement, abandoning his gubernatorial bid in Indiana. Sources say Pence, who faced a Friday deadline to make a decision, will not run for re-election.
