Mitch Daniels Hasn't Ruled Out Governor's Run If Pence Gets VP Nod

Former Indiana governor Mitch Daniels hasn’t ruled out a bid for his old office should his successor, current governor Mike Pence, be named Donald Trump’s running mate, THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned.

Daniels “hasn’t said no” to the idea in conversations with at least two people, according to a member of the state’s GOP leadership with firsthand knowledge of the discussions. The likely reason? Daniels, the president of Purdue University who departed office with high marks from the public, misses his prior job.
