Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said on Friday that he had settled on Indiana Governor Mike Pence to be his vice presidential running mate, a pick that could help unify a divided party behind Trump's White House bid.
Trump, making his announcement on Twitter, said he would hold a news conference at 11 a.m. ET on Saturday.
He had planned a news conference today, but held off in the wake of the attacks in Nice, France.
