As all signs point to a Governor Mike Pence vice presidential pick, but the Trump family is reportedly still divided over the issue.
According to multiple reports, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is preferred by Donald Jr., while Governor Chris Christie is opposed by Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump's husband.
Sources tell me published reports are "premature" referring to news items that @GovPenceIN has been chosen

Internal dynamic,Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner has a "personal" opposition to @ChrisChristie per sources

An already HUGE decision for @realDonaldTrump complicated by his "gut" vs. internal family pressure per sources

Sources also say the "no decision" guidance does not mean the choice would not be @GovPenceIN

Based on my reporting, Don Jr. favors Newt. Jared leans twd Newt but open to Pence. Ivanka's view unclear. Manafort for Pence.

Trump family is torn and they don't really know Pence. Open to him, like him but not all sold. Don Jr., friends say, is for Newt.

The Trump campaign maintains a final decision has not been made and that the official announcement will be made Friday at 11 a.m. ET.
