Donald Trump has made a decision to announce his vice presidential pick on Friday, according to two people familiar with the planning of the event. Ryan initially was among several established Republicans who said they weren’t ready to back Trump, shortly after he appeared to clinch the party’s nomination.

Trump appeared with Christie on Monday in Virginia Beach, Va.
The real estate magnate-turned politician has vetted such figures as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and retired Army Gen. Michael Flynn for vice presidential consideration.
He says, “I’m narrowing it down”. I mean I’m – I’m at potentially four.
Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state under former President George W. Bush, had a brief chat with Trump last weekend, but the conversation will likely end there.
Donald Trump has said he would name his vice presidential pick tomorrow, capping a months- long frenzied speculation over his potential running mates.
Neither Trump nor Pence would confirm the reports, but Pence’s top campaign spokesman was seen on a flight from Indianapolis to NY. I would rather have the whole thing be on policy.
Pence’s team has gotten word to start preparing to get the official nod Thursday, and the Trump campaign is now planning for the official nod Thursday, according to two sources familiar with the process.
Sources familiar with campaign operations cautioned that while Mr Pence and Mr Gingrich were finalists, Mr Trump could always have a last-minute change of heart and choose someone else from his shortlist.
This official added that Pence has until noon on Friday to decide whether or not to pull his name off the ballot as governor – something he’d have to do in order to run as Trump VP, because of in law.
In addition to asserting a right to discuss the campaign on free speech grounds, Nunberg’s lawsuit also argued that the campaign’s arbitration claim was invalid because it was brought by an exploratory group Trump formed for his 2012 campaign, “which has nothing to do with the Trump Campaign’s activities in the 2016 presidential campaign cycle”.
“It’s a little bit like ‘The Apprentice, ‘” Gingrich, the former House Speaker, said in a Tuesday interview with Fox News Channel.
Or will he campaign with Donald Trump for the White House? “I think that’s what people have been looking for all along”. “He’s got some awesome, awesome people”, Eric Trump told Fox News on Wednesday night.
Trump’s family, including Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, also met privately with Christie Tuesday.
Christie, a former presidential candidate who became one of the first “establishment Republicans” to endorse Trump, has been advising the NY businessman on the running mate selection, but is also considered a contender himself.
Trump isn’t just wrestling with his own competing impulses as he looks to make his pick. “Vice president? Who the hell knows”, Trump said then.

“And I’m not saying anything, and I’m not telling even Newt anything, but I can tell you, in one form or another, Newt Gingrich is going to be involved with our government”, Trump said.
