It was widely reported on Thursday that GOP nominee Donald Trump would tap Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his vice presidential running mate at a press conference Friday morning.
After Thursday’s terror attack in Nice, France, however, Trump postponed the announcement:
In light of the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have postponed tomorrow's news conference concerning my Vice Presidential announcement.

On Friday morning, Trump tweeted confirmation that he had, indeed, chosen Pence as his running mate, but is still holding off on an official announcement until Saturday morning:
I am pleased to announce that I have chosen Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate. News conference tomorrow at 11:00 A.M.

Pence responded on his own Twitter account, saying he’s “honored” to grace Trump’s ticket:
Honored to join @realDonaldTrump and work to make America great again. https://t.co/J8esm9LU6g
