Former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels will not launch a bid to retake his old office if Donald Trump taps Mike Pence, the current governor of the Hoosier State, to be his running mate.

“I think it is appropriate that I make plain today that, should there be a sudden need to name a new nominee for governor, I will not present myself as a candidate nor would I accept the nomination if offered,” Daniels, who spent eight years as governor before becoming the president of Purdue University, told the Journal & Courier on Thursday.
