Published July 14, 2016 FoxNews.com
The VP nod may not be official yet – but Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is abandoning his gubernatorial bid, all but assuring he’s in line to be Donald Trump’s running mate.
Republican sources tell Fox News that Pence, who faced a Friday deadline to make a decision, will not run for re-election.
This comes amid multiple reports that Pence is in line to be named as Trump’s running mate.
The Trump campaign still insists an offer has not formally been made to anyone.
Trump plans to make his official announcement Friday morning.
The announcement follows a very-public vetting process that included meetings in recent days with Pence, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, among others.
