What Mike Pence offers as Trump’s VP: For millennials, not much

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump sparked speculation about his vice presidential search after meeting with three of his top candidates earlier this week.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie campaigned with Trump in Virginia Beach on Monday. Then, Trump visited Indiana Governor Mike Pence at his Indianapolis home following a dinner on Tuesday, and planned to meet with former House speaker Newt Gingrich as well.

“According to a Trump ally, the candidate and his family decided over the weekend to meet with each of the leading contenders as Trump continued to deliberate,” Jose A. DelReal and Robert Costa of The Washington Post reported.

A campaign source reported that Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and Trump’s family members planned an intervention, traveling to Indiana Wednesday after speculation that Trump’s positive meeting with Christie was moving him away from choosing Pence as his right-hand man.

“After meeting Trump, Pence told aides Wednesday he expects ‘business as usual’ in the governor’s office — but also indirectly confirmed that he’d accept the vice presidential nod if offered, and would remain Indiana governor through November’s election, rather than resigning his post to focus on the campaign,” CNN noted.
