共和党推定总统候选人川普正在缩小他的副总统候选人竞选搭档人选,计划星期五公布。

川普发推特说,他计划星期五上午11点在纽约宣布。

可能的人选包括星期二在竞选筹款活动中为川普站台的印第安纳州州长麦克·彭斯,前国会众议院议长金里奇,以及新泽西州州长克里斯蒂。克里斯蒂本人最初也曾参加共和党的总统初选,今年早些时候退出选举后宣布支持川普。

一些媒体说,川普的“副手”应该是在彭斯或金里奇两人中产生。

共和党全国代表大会定于7月18日到21日在克利夫兰召开。

在民主党方面,推定总统候选人希拉里·克林顿也在挑选副总统搭档,预计下星期宣布。

民主党全国代表大会定于7月25日到28日在费城举行。

Presumptive Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump is narrowing his choice for vice president and plans to make the pick public on Friday.

Trump said on Twitter that he would make his announcement at 11 a.m. Friday in New York.

Among the likely choices are Indiana Governor Mike Pence, who appeared at a fundraising event with Trump on Tuesday, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich or New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Christie, once a Republican candidate rival of Trump, threw his support behind the billionaire businessman after dropping out of the race earlier this year.

Several news media say the race is between Pence and Gingrich. The Republican National Convention will be held next week (July 18-21) in Cleveland.

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton also is interviewing potential vice presidential picks. She is expected to announce her choice next week.

The Democratic National Convention takes place July 25-28 in Philadelphia.
