To win over skeptics, Trump has tapped wife Melania, daughters Ivanka and Tiffany and son Donald Trump Jr to speak in Cleveland. CLEVELAND - Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump appeared poised Thursday to tap Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his running mate, an overture to conservative skeptics as he looks for unity at the party's convention. That has fueled speculation he could be the one to fill the vice presidential nominee's prime time slot. "Governor Pence strengthens the ticket with a solid and unquestionable conservative anchor," Maureen Blum, a convention delegate from Washington who backed Trump rival Marco Rubio, told AFP. It "will focus on the core themes of Republican Presidential Nominee Donald J. Trump's campaign: national security, immigration, trade and jobs."
