Trump could have announced on monday, got all of the news coverage this week and then went into the convention and got all of the coverage for next week. Why is he burying this story on a friday?

...and announcing Friday morning gives Pence time to file if it's not him, while giving Trump maximum time (within that limit) to decide.
