After Donald Trump selected Mike Pence, the Governor of Indiana, as his running mate, Rokita dropped out of the House election to file as a candidate for governor.[26] The vacancy on the ballot will need to be filled by precinct chairs in the district by August 14, and Rokita could be reinstalled on the ballot if he was not selected for governor. Ultimately Eric Holcomb, Pence's lieutenant governor, was nominated, and Rokita resumed his re-election campaign.
