Newt Gingrich’s spokesman R.C. Hammond is denying speculation of a Gingrich-Rick Perry ticket being announced before the Republican convention, CBS News reports:
“While there’s certainly a lot of people who are great admirers of Rick Perry on our campaign. whether or not the campaign has gone as far as to reach out to Governor Perry about a possible VP ticket, any sort of talks along those lines would be premature — it would be something more appropriate for later on in the process,” Hammond told CBS News.
Fox News reported earlier that “sources close to the Gingrich campaign” said conversations were underway.
