(CNN) Donald Trump has called Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and offered him the vice presidential slot on his ticket, CNN has learned.
Pence has accepted.
The pick sets up a stark clash in styles: a brash presumptive nominee with a tendency to freelance into controversies alongside a cautious former congressional leader who's stuck close to conservative orthodoxy since starting his career in talk radio.
Trump said Thursday evening he's postponing the official announcement, previously set for Friday morning...

As in, Pence has something to address when liberals call him a bigot.
Yeah. He seemed kind of marshmellowey to me on the whole pizzeria/gay marriage thing.
But I dont know him that well. Hope he works out.
Lessons the excitement. Hopefully Newt is given some OFFICIAL paid roll in the Trump Presidency. Newt has been so gracious and humble when speaking about knowing Trump will make the right decision.
Just kinda sad. Newt is a once in a lifetime kind of public servant. He is very much like Our Founding Fathers while still being very modern.
Still Always, Go Newt! :/ :(
Sorry, I’m not buying this ‘announcement’.
Only when I hear it from Trump.
CNN is and always has been the Communist ‘News’ Network
Postponing an announcement does not necessarily equate with postponing a decision.
By all accounts, Trump has decided, offered, and Pence has accepted.
ABC News has confirmed that Trump offered it Pence and that Pence has accepted the offer.
Yeah, I’ll be praying it doesn’t happen.
Okay.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Until I hear it from Trump’s own lips, it’s just a ‘rumor’ for me. I hope to God it’s not Pence.
But they call all of us bigots.
But they call all of us bigots.
Shouldn’t be too hard.
Where is Pence right now? Are there massive amounts of security in Indianapolis right now?
Quite true, I just hope he speaks up and fights all the way through and true.
Newt better get some position, or it will be such a waste of Newt's knowledge, experience and patriotism for such a time as this.
It's like Trump needs Newt more than anyone else right now in Washington, yet Newt doesn't get the official title. :(
I’ll believe this when I hear it from Trump’s lips and not one second sooner.
I thought Trump said this was a false rumor
Trumppence . . . Truppence!
I know there is a Mary Poppins-themed song in their some place.
I recall him calling for the change, and he signed the homosexual rights bill that religious protection bill became, didn’t he?
I bet Newt will be Chief of Staff. Much more influential - and helpful - than Veep.
