Mike Pence är guvernör i Indiana och har under senaste dagarna framstått som favorit att bli Trumps kandidat till vicepresident. Kl 11 på förmiddagen lokal tid på fredag väntas det bli helt officiellt när Trump meddelar sitt val i New York.
Under natten till fredag skickade dock Trump ut följande tweet:
In light of the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have postponed tomorrow's news conference concerning my Vice Presidential announcement.

Och på Fox:
Trump to @foxnews on his VP decision: "I haven’t made a final, final decision."
