Let's put the safety and security of the American people first.

I do think that part of the reason why [Donald Trump] asked me to run with him and gave me the opportunity to serve with him was informed by my 12 years of experience on Capitol Hill and my years as governor of the State of Indiana.

I've never seen the kind of enthusiasm at the grassroots that I see campaigning with or for Donald Trump.

Our founders insisted that protecting the states' power to govern themselves was vital to limit the power of Washington and preserve freedom.

However long I serve in public life, I'll stand on that basic liberty of the right to keep and bear arms.

My uncle was a cop, a career cop, on the beat in downtown Chicago. He was my hero when I was growing up.

Trump and I have a lot in common, and that is a belief in the American dream because we both have lived it. I think it's what animates our president-elect more than anything else, is a belief in the boundless potential of every American to live the American dream. And, I think it comes from the fact that we both grew up in it, and both saw it. And in our own ways, we both lived it.
