Trump Nearly Picked Christie

Donald Trump nearly picked New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as his running mate and wavered until the last minute before announcing Indiana Gov. Mike Pence was his final choice, according to CNN.

New York Times: “In conversations late into the evening, Mr. Trump repeatedly hesitated over selecting Mr. Pence, according to people briefed on the tense deliberations, who insisted on anonymity to describe the confidential talks. Even as his emissaries reassured Mr. Pence, Mr. Trump fielded a last-ditch appeal from Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, another finalist, who once again pressed his own case.”
