INDIANAPOLIS -- The day after presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump held a rally in Westfield, he visited Gov. Mike Pence in the governor's residence, then with Newt Gingrich, another possible vice presidential pick.

We caught up with Gingrich as he left the Conrad Indianapolis after meeting with Trump.

Trump's initial exit from Indiana was delayed due to mechanical issues with his airplane. 

Trump was seen entering Pence's house, according to Bloomberg Politics' Mark Halperin. 

Around 9 a.m., Trump left the Conrad hotel with his motorcade. 

Halperin tweeted that Trump and Pence had dinner Tuesday night. 

Around 10:30 a.m., Trump left the governor's residence. 

Trump waved to supporters as he left the Conrad and headed the airport around 4:15 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.

At Tuesday night's rally in Westfield, Trump gave no clues as to whether Pence would be his vice presidential pick, saying "Who the hell knows?"

Trump ended his speech with a nod to the speculation around his VP pick, saying people will be calling Pence next year because Indiana is "winning too much."

"I joke, you'll be calling up Mike Pence – I don't know if he's going to be your governor or your vice president, who the hell knows," Trump said. "You're going to be saying, 'Governor, or vice president, talk to Mr. Trump. We're winning too much.'"
