Donald Trump is slated to announce his vice presidential pick next week ahead of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, CNN reported Tuesday.

CNN cited an anonymous Trump aide as the source for that report, which comes after the presumptive GOP nominee met in person with Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, fueling speculation about his pick.

Trump praised Ernst on Twitter after their meeting and said he planned to meet with her again.
