AP: Pence Has Been Offered And Accepted Trump's VP Offer

Donald Trump has offered Mike Pence the job of vice president, and Trump aides have told the Indiana governor the formal announcement could be made as soon as tomorrow.

That's according to a Republican with direct knowledge of the process, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to publicly discuss the details of Trump's search for a running mate.

The Republican says Trump made the offer on Thursday afternoon, before Pence traveled late Thursday to New York.

But Trump delayed his plans for a vice presidential announcement Thursday night after the truck attack in southern France.

The billionaire said later that night he'd not yet settled on a "final, final" decision, leaving open the possibility the unpredictable presumptive nominee could change his mind.

But Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, said Friday morning he believed Trump had "reached a decision but he isn't prepared to announce it yet."
