Rumor has it that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) could be a contender on Donald Trump's VP short list. While the socially conservative governor said Thursday that he had yet to speak to Trump about the possibility, the two are reportedly set to meet Friday, which, Reuters reports, is "part of the vetting process.'

Adding further fuel to the flames, Pence also declined Thursday to comment on whether he is being vetted by Trump and if he would rule out the possibility of serving as vice president. Trump is planning to head to Indiana just a week ahead of the GOP convention for a fundraising event.
