Washington: Donald Trump will announce the name of his vice presidential pick tomorrow in New York on Friday, he said on Twitter.
Among those who believed to be topping the list are former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Governors Chris Christie from New Jersey and Mike Pence from Indiana.
"I will be making the announcement of my vice presidential pick on Friday at 11am in Manhattan," the 70-year-old real-estate tycoon said in a tweet.
Mainstream American media speculated that Trump has shortlisted his running mate to a few.
Over the past few days, Trump has met all of his potential running mates and many of them have addressed public rallies with him.
The announcement will end rampant speculation about Trump's vice-presidential selections.
According to The Washington Post, picking a running mate is one of the most consequential decisions a presidential candidate can make before Election Day.
"It offers a chance to breathe new energy into a campaign but also can weigh down a candidate with unforeseen baggage.
Many GOP strategists say Trump who has struggled to stay on message in recent months amid missteps and controversies needs a running mate who can defend him from a deluge of attacks and negative media attention," the daily said.
Trump's Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, too, is likely to announce her running mate soon.
