On Friday Donald Trump finally made official what most people already knew. Mike Pence will be his vice presidential running mate.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee made the unconventional announcement via Twitter around 11 a.m., the originally scheduled time for his news conference that he postponed due to the Nice attack.
I am pleased to announce that I have chosen Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate. News conference tomorrow at 11:00 A.M.

The social media response to the first-ever vice presidential pick made on Twitter was swift and mixed.
