Donald Trump Postpones VP Announcement in Wake of Attack in Nice

On Thursday night, Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he was rescheduling a press conference to reveal his vice presidential pick originally slated for Friday morning due to the recent attack in Nice, France.

Shortly after Trump tweeted the message, NPR reported that it had “confirmed” Indiana Governor Mike Pence to be his running mate, citing “a source with direct knowledge.”
