Newt Gingrich, who was considered a top candidate to be Trump's running mate, shared his reaction with.

"I think he's a great choice, Mike's a great friend of mine and we share a lot of ideas in common. He's often described himself as a Reagan-Kemp-Gingrich Republican so it's pretty hard to complain," said Gingrich.

But Republicans were quick to praise Trump's selection on social media.
