Republican House members expressed support for Donald Trump's reported choice of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence
as his vice presidential running mate.
Calling himself "very much a Pence supporter," New York Rep. Chris Collins said the choice will signal what a "great president" Trump will be for surrounding himself with the "best and brightest."
"He's got good judgment," Collins said Thursday on Fox News Channel's
"Your World with Neil Cavuto." Pence will add credibility and momentum to Trump's campaign heading into next week's Republican National Convention, Collins told guest host Sandra Smith.
Pence cut taxes and has been a very conservative governor, he said, and would be able to step in as president if called upon.
Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy told CNN's
"The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer," said that Pence's strong understanding of foreign policy will lend "a good steady hand if they win to decide how to navigate some of the big challenges in the world."
Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn told CNN's
"The Lead with Jake Tapper" she is happy with anyone Trump picks, but added that Pence is a "good friend" who is a "solid conservative."
