Pence introduces Trump at rally that doubles as VP audition

Written by Teunis Felter

Republican Donald Trump campaigned alongside Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on Tuesday evening, the latest in a series of public auditions as the billionaire businessman mulls his vice presidential pick. Walking onto the stage to cheers, Pence confidently introduced the presumptive GOP nominee and vigorously advocated for Trump as the best person to lead the country. The speech made clear that despite his mild-mannered reputation, the governor and former Congressman could serve the role of attack dog if Trump taps him as his running mate. Pence would be a welcome pick among anxious Republican officials who are looking for a steady, disciplined counterpart to Trump’s freewheeling style. GOP officials are already starting to gather in Cleveland ahead of next week’s national convention.
