Pence campaigned with Trump at a rally in Indiana on Tuesday night, Gingrich campaigned with the presumptive nominee in Ohio last week, and Christie has been campaigning with the real estate mogul since he endorsed him in February.
Trump’s Campaign Strategist and top adviser Paul Manafort, three of Trump’s family members, and Kushner met with Pence on Wednesday at the Governor’s mansion, which resulted in further speculation and media frenzy.
Pence campaigned with Trump at a rally in Indiana on Tuesday night, Gingrich campaigned with the presumptive nominee in Ohio last week, and Christie has been campaigning with the real estate mogul since his endorsement in February.
“I tell you Chris Christie is somebody I have liked for a long time,” Trump told Baier in the interview. “He is a total professional. He’s a good guy, by the way. A lot of people don’t understand that.”
However, one Trump adviser that opposes Christie is his son-in-law Jared Kushner—Ivanka Trump’s husband and de facto Campaign Manager since the firing of Corey Lewandowski.
Christie was the federal prosecutor who put Kushner’s father in prison a decade ago, and Kushner has been pushing for Gingrich instead.
The VP announcement on Friday will come only 3 days before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
