Potential Republican running mate Newt Gingrich divulged Monday that Donald Trump will make his vice presidential pick by the end of the week.
“I think they’ll let everybody know probably Thursday or Friday,” Gingrich told a NBC campaign reporter.

The former House speaker made it down to the final handful of potential running mates. Despite saying last week that he would say “yes” if Trump asked him to be his partner, he was noncommittal over the weekend and again Monday.
“Callista and I have a lot of things going on right now. We each have a book coming out. We just released a movie on George Washington called ‘First American.’ We have an exciting new project on women of the American Revolution so we’d want to stop and talk through exactly what he’d have in mind and whether or not at a practical level we can make the transition,” Gingrich said.
The GOP convention will take place in Cleveland, Ohio, in July 18-21.
