Trump meets with Indiana Gov. Pence as veep speculation swirls
- 8 years ago
Donald Trump and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence held a private meeting Saturday morning at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J.
The governor, who is in the middle of a reelection campaign, is increasingly seen as a potential choice by several of Trump’s aides, who have told associates that Pence’s deep ties with conservatives and his House experience would be an asset.
One source described the meeting to the Post as "warm and friendly," and the other said it was a "getting-to-know-you thing, a chance for both of them to connect."
Other candidates, including Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker, are also being vetted.
