Thank you for being here today. Honor and joy e of introducing a very special me, your vice resident, my dad, mike pence, today. Applause]d charlotte and im traveling ith him on the campaign trail today. But four years ago, i did travel quite a lot. Almost every day my parents were on the campaign rail from when we were picked in july up until election day. Nd i saw the country, saw places ive never been before, by so many spired people who were excited about his message and still are today. But a lot happens in four years. Even kind of i realized more so than in the past. Aroundough ive grown up politics. Hat campaigns end and the day after election day is when the starts. Lly and thats i think when true character and leadership is proven. ve been so impressed but not surprised that the country has gotten to see President Trump really lead in a way thats shown that character. [cheers and applause] charlotte and improve so many lives. An especially en challenging year. Yeah. Whole worl
