CLEVELAND –– Donald Trump’s vice presidential selection, Indiana governor Mike Pence, accepted his nomination for vice president of the United States Wednesday night on the third day of the Republican National Convention inside Quicken Loans Arena.

“I accept your nomination to run and serve as vice president of theUnited States of America,,” Pence said. “…You have nominated a man for president who never quits, a man who never backs down. On Nov. 8 a.m., I know we will elect Donald Trump to be the 45th president of the United States of America.”

Pence continued to testify for Trump, having much confidence that Hillary Clinton won’t win the presidency in November.

“The American people are tired of being told this is as good as it gets. They’re tired of hearing politicians of both parties that we’ll get to it tomorrow, while debt piles up for our children and grandchildren,” he said. “This election comes down to just two names on the ballot, so let’s resolve here and know that Hillary Clinton will never become president of the United States of America. Hillary Clinton essentially offers a third Obama term.”

Trump is set to give his acceptance speech tonight after officially winning the Republican nomination on Tuesday.
