Mr. Trump, a skillful social media user, took to Twitter, the micro-messaging platform, as he has throughout the primary season campaign to announce his VP choice.

“I am pleased to announce that I have chosen Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate. News conference tomorrow at 11:00 A.M.,” Trump said via Twitter.

Pared down with no fanfare the show king maintained his scheduling with the Republican National Convention set to begin, July 18 in Cleveland.
