Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is backing Donald Trump for president, according to a report from the Terre Haute Tribune Star.
“I’m going to campaign hard for the Republican nominee because Indiana needs a partner in the White House,” Pence said Thursday in Terre Haute.
During the Indiana primary, Pence endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz for the nomination.

Pence's name has been floated as a possible running mate to Trump. On Thursday, he put an end to those ideas by saying he was committed to being governor.
