(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.

Leaking the VP news sort of fits with a no drama VP like Pence. Trump has the sound and fury covered

Bill O’Reilly just had Trump on, and said NBC was reporting that Pence is the VP pick.
Trump did not deny it, but stated he would not hold a presser tomorrow because of the attack in Nice.

Exactly. This gets Pence out of the way in the warm-bucket-of-spit slot.

“Still Always, Go Newt! :/ :(”

Newt as chief of staff. That would be a winner.

Pence flew to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey this afternoon. I believe he then was driven to Manhattan. That’s where he is now.

“Where is Pence right now?”

I heard on Faux News earlier today that he is in New York.

I heard Pence’s introduction of Trump yesterday and I was impressed. I watched him in the House. He is not a shrinking violet.

Looks like some don't believe the news. Hmm, maybe this will help verify it for you:

Donald Trump picks Mike Pence as running mate

Breaking: Trump postpones Vice Presidential announcement

But until an offer is made and accepted, nothing is for certain in this very fluid situation. The Trump adviser cautioned Trump’s leaning could change. The real estate mogul is slated to announce his decision Friday at 11 a.m. in New York, and multiple sources have said Trump’s shortlist is down to Pence, New Jersey Gov.

It may be merely an academic point- after all the clues that have been discovered to date, but Donald John Trump has NOT stated who his running mate is going to be, whether NBC likes it or not.
