2016 US Presidential Election - Republican Donald Trump Selects Indiana governor Mike Pence to be his vice-presidential running mate

Republican Donald Trump has selected Indiana governor Mike Pence to be his vice-presidential running mate

Donald Trump's campaign planned to announce his selection on Friday July 15,2016, but cancelled the event because of the attack in Nice, France.

 Who is Indian Governor Mike Pence?

Before his current job, Mike Pence(57)spent 12 years in Washington as a congressman.

His legislative experience and position of governor of a Midwestern state could give Donald Trump advantages in the general election.

The Indiana governor is strongly anti-abortion and signed a religious freedom bill, which some saw as anti-gay, into law

However, Donald Trump and the Indiana governor differ on some key issues including the billionaire businessman's call to ban Muslim from entering the US

Mike Pence has also expressed support for free trade agreements and was in favour of the war in Iraq, which Donald Trump says he was not.
