WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump says he will announce his choice for running mate at 11 a.m. Friday in Manhattan.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee posted the news on Twitter Wednesday night, adding, “Details to follow.”

Trump, his adult children and key staffers have been meeting with vice presidential prospects all week. The top names under consideration include Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

  1. If you line those 4 miscreants up, they look like a right-wing, white male version of a Russian nesting doll, with Christie as the outside shell and Gingrich as the tiny one in the middle.

  2. Michele Fiore or David Duke? ~goosebumps!~

    OR…Dick Cheney! (⊙.⊙(☉̃ₒ☉)⊙.⊙)

  3. I am mystified by Pence, does he not want a career after this?

  4. Much has been said about Trump’s mop of hair, or whatever that is, but the baseball caps have to go!! America remains great!! More transparency with Donald’s income taxes and real follicles, NOW!!!

  5. I still think it’s a tease, and that he will name the Alaskan pole dancer, who, if he wins, will also become the official Oval Office cigar humidor.
