Gov. Mike Pence and Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump appeared at a rally Tuesday, July 12, just days before Trump is expected to name his running mate.
Indiana Public Media/Barbara BrosherINDIANAPOLIS -- Gov. Mike Pence was effusive in his praise for Trump at the Republican presidential hopeful’s latest rally in Indiana.
The two met in Indianapolis earlier in the day, prior to a private fundraiser. Later, at the rally, Pence declared to a crowd of more than 1,000 that Trump “gets it” and hears the voice of Americans.
“We’re ready to put a fighter, a builder and a patriot in the Oval Office of the United States of America,” Pence said. “We’re ready for Donald Trump.”
Trump spoke little of Pence in his nearly hour-long speech. But he did call Pence a good man who’s doing a good job.
“You’ll be calling up Mike Pence. I don’t know whether he’s going to be your governor or your vice president, who the hell knows,” Trump said.
Reports say Trump’s pick will come Friday. State law dictates that Pence cannot appear on the ballot as both a vice presidential nominee and a candidate for governor. He has until noon on Friday to officially withdraw from the gubernatorial race.
