Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared for the first time with his running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, at a rally in New York Saturday, calling him “my partner in this campaign”.

“We’re different people”, Trump said.
Stahl mentioned Pence’s previous comments that “negative campaigning is wrong”, and asked him about what he thought of Trump’s campaign so far, with his name-calling at rivals Ted Cruz (“Lyin’ Ted”) and Hillary Clinton (“Crooked Hillary”).
Trump has continued to claim on the campaign trail that he was opposed to the Iraq War before the US launched its invasion – and the “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday once again raised the specter of that contradiction.
At a sometimes awkward and disjointed roll-out of his running mate, Governor Mike Pence of IN, IN NY yesterday, Trump said together they would deliver a new “law and order” era for voters IN November both at home and internationally.
Pence said that Trump “is a great man and he will make a great president of the United States of America”.
The best known person in the group is KellyAnne Conway, who is frequently seen as a television commentator on the cable news networks and who will serve as an adviser to Pence.
The two men are scheduled to formally become their party’s nominees at next week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland. In particular, she emphasized that social conservatives have not necessarily been behind Trump, contrary to Bernstein’s analysis.

Trump praised Pence’s gubernatorial accomplishments, citing his work to reduce unemployment and increase the labor force in Indiana. Trump now says he wants to ban people from “terrorist areas” and not just target Muslims. “And if I’m elected president, that will happen”, Trump said. Trump delayed the event out of respect for the deadly truck attack in Nice, France, but he also had lingering doubts about choosing Pence. But Twitter users suggested blurring the image to make it “appropriate” for audiences, while others said Trump and Pence must have a “very close relationship”.
