Verify: Indiana’s economy under Mike Pence’s leadership
After all, Pence follows the tough, polished acts of House Speaker Paul Ryan, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who all have earlier speaking slots. In the 12-minute interview, host George Stephanopoulos tried in vain 12 separate times to get an answer to various versions of this question: If a florist in IN refuses to provide flowers for a gay couple’s wedding, is that legal under the state’s new religious freedom law, yes or no? Recipients who miss a payment can be bumped to a lower level of coverage, or lose it entirely, for six months. “And I said, ‘It’s going fine, but I’ve got something I’d like to say.’ And he said, ‘Say it.’ And I said, ‘Mr”.
Its really been a wonderful way to move the needle both on health care access and ultimately on long-term health outcomes, Priest said.
But Pence was the featured speaker of the night, offering a preview of what’s to come in the Republican campaign, with calls for cutting unnecessary regulations and taxes, supporting veterans and the men and women of law enforcement and the military, tightening US borders and toughening its foreign policy.

The governor said he began politics as a Democrat, and was an admirer of President Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King in his youth. Marco Rubio, to Gov. Scott Walker, Newt Gingrich, Gov. Rick Scott, and Pastor Darrell C. Scott just to name a few. His low-key style was likely attractive to Trump, said the political scientist, Smith.
To the broader American public, though, Pence, like IN, remains largely a mystery. West Virginia, in contrast, spends more than $220. But after introducing himself and his family, Pence did his best to show why he thinks Trump will solve the nation’s ills.
In any other year, on any other day, Pence’s speech would not have been remarkable. Among other things, it requires doctors to offer women the “remains” of the fetus after an abortion. Pence didn’t have the national security chops of retired Army Lt. Michael Flynn or the personal friendship with the candidate that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) possesses.
Driving home Pennsylvania’s battleground status this year, newly minted GOP vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence rallied the troops here Thursday, exhorting them to turn the Keystone State red for the first time in 28 years.
