Donald Trump’s running mate Mike Pence briefly returned home from the campaign trail to kick off what he calls “the best state fair in America”.
On Wednesday, Pence offered his own endorsement to House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, the top US elected Republican, after Trump infuriated many party leaders by declining to endorse Ryan in his re-election bid.

“He has to be very careful about how he handles the defense of Donald Trump”, Devine said.
