Donald Trump plans to announce his running mate on Monday, Fox News reported after speaking with the former president.
“He did confirm that he’s going to make a VP choice today,” Fox’s Bret Baier said on the network’s air just hours before the first day of the Republican National Convention was set to kick off.
Baier clarified that Trump’s decision will be revealed sometime later Monday. “Yes, yeah. We’re going to get a VP today,” Baier said.
Trump also told Baier, “there’s other surprises to come,” the news anchor reported.
