"I am pleased to announce that I have chosen Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate. News conference tomorrow at 11:00 A.M.," Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee tweeted.

Trump and Pence are scheduled to hold their first joint appearance in New York, Hilton Midtown in Manhattan on Saturday.

"Look, I served in Congress for 12 years. I've been a governor for three and a half years. I haven't agreed with every one of my Republican colleagues or Democrat colleagues on every issue," Pence said. "But I'm supporting Donald Trump because we need change in this country, and I believe he represents the kind of strong leadership at home and abroad that will, to borrow a phrase, make America great again."

Pence's lawyer filed paperwork with the Indiana secretary of state office officially removing him from the governor's race Friday morning.

Most of the GOP delegates hope the choice of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence will help unite Republicans and fire up the party base to support Trump. Pence has a strong reputation among fellow Republicans as a social conservative.
Michael served in the U.S. House for 12 years, from 2001-2013.  He is the former chairman of the House Republican Conference (2009-11), the Republican Study Committee, and served on the House foreign affairs, judiciary.

  • Michael graduated B.A. in History in 1981 and a J.D. from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 1986.
  • He worked as an attorney in private practice and continued to practice law following his second unsuccessful run for Congress.
  • In 1991, he became the president of the Indiana Policy Review Foundation, a self-described free-market think tank and a member of the State Policy Network
  • In 1994, he hosted The Mike Pence Show and called himself "Rush Limbaugh on decaf". From 1995 to 1999, Pence also hosted a weekend political talk show out of Indianapolis.

Pence was born in Columbus, Indiana, one of six children of Nancy Jane and Edward J. Pence, Jr., who ran a string of gas stations. His family were Irish Catholic. Pence and his wife Karen Pence have been married since 1985. They have three children: Michael, Charlotte, and Audrey.

In June 2006, Pence unveiled a plan he describes as "no amnesty immigration reform", consisting of increased border security, followed by strict enforcement of laws against hiring illegal aliens, and a guest worker program. This guest worker program requires potential participants to apply from their home country to government-approved job placement agencies that match workers with employers who cannot find Americans for the job

As of March 2016, Pence has attempted unsuccessfully to prevent Syrian refugees from being resettled in Indiana.
