CNN’s Dana Bash and NBC News’ Kelly O’Donnell both reported that Trump got cold feet Thursday night over his apparent veep choice, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. According to Bash, Trump was “so unsure” about his offer to Pence that “around midnight last night, he asked aides if he could get out of it.”
O’Donnell tweeted that the real estate mogul was on the phone late into the evening on Thursday, “asking if he could change course on VP pick.”
A Trump campaign spokesman flatly denied those assertions.
And yet, some circumstantial evidence seems to back them up. After news of the horrific terrorist attack in Nice, France, broke on Thursday, Trump tweeted that he would be postponing the highly anticipated announcement of his choice for vice president, which had been slated for Friday morning at Trump Tower in New York.
In the end, Trump made his announcement on Friday anyway, on Twitter.
