FEATURE
Mike Pence may be out of the race for governor of Indiana. That’s because, according to the Indianapolis Star, Pence has been chosen to be the vice presidential nominee for the Republican party. Pence would run alongside Donald Trump. The newspaper does not clearly cite its source, but they state plainly that “IndyStar has confirmed that Trump plans to announce Pence as his selection for vice president.” For more on that story, WFHB News Director Joe Crawford spoke today with Indiana University political science professor Marjorie Hershey. We bring you that conversation now for today’s WFHB community report.
