Donald Trump introduces Mike Pence as his running mate
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump introduced Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his vice presidential running mate Saturday morning in New York. Trump called Pence “my partner in this campaign” and praised his ability to create jobs in Indiana: “This is the primary reason I wanted Mike—other than that he looks very good, other than he’s got an incredible family, and incredible wife.” Pence referred to himself as “just a small-town boy” and praised Trump as “a good man,” a fighter, a legendary businessman, and a patriotic American. “The American people are tired,” Pence said. “We’re tired of being told that this is as good as it gets. We’re tired of having politicians in both parties in Washington, D.C., telling us we’ll get to those problems tomorrow.” Trump and Pence now head to Cleveland, where a divided Republican Party gathers for its national convention starting Monday. “So many people have said ‘party unity,’ because I’m an outsider,” Trump said Saturday. “I don’t want to be an outsider.”
