Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, joined Trump and Pence at Pence’s home, according to Trump’s campaign.
Trump told Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly Tuesday that he had “a pretty good idea” of his pick.
He says, “I’m narrowing it down”. The meeting was created to let Trump’s family get to know the Christie better before the presumptive nominee formalizes his decision. “I don’t have anybody necessarily better in mind”. There is much talk of who Trump’s running mate may be, especially after New Gingrich announced he has severed ties with the Fox News Channel as a paid contributor, a possibly sign that he may be rising on the shortlist.
Donald Trump met privately with IN governor Mike Pence inside the governor’s mansion on Wednesday – and brought his influential children along – as speculation over Trump’s final vice presidential pick reached fever pitch.

The Vermont senator declined to say whether it is appropriate for a sitting Supreme Court justice to openly criticize a White House contender.
“I’m getting attacked from all sides”, Trump said.
Trump, in various interviews, has also held out the possibility of a surprise pick whom nobody knows about. This is a demographic Mitt Romney won in 2012 and Mr. Trump needs to win, but is now trailing Hillary Clinton in the polls.
Gingrich compared running mate selection to “The Apprentice”, the hit reality show that Trump hosted for years on United States television.
