Mike Pence accepts Republican VP nomination

CLEVELAND, (APP/AFP) – Indiana Governor Mike
Pence accepted the Republican vice presidential nomination at a
tumultuous party convention in Cleveland Wednesday, describing
his running mate Donald Trump as a “good man.”
“I am deeply humbled by your confidence,” Pence told
delegates, still reeling from a night of high drama and political
infighting over Trump’s anointment as the party’s White House
candidate.
Pence, 57, said he “joined this campaign in a heartbeat”
because Republicans nominated Trump, a man “who never quits,
who never backs down.”
