Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence says Hillary Clinton “personifies” the failed status quo.
The Indiana governor told a crowd of hundreds in Holland, Michigan, on Saturday morning that Donald Trump would push “commonsense conservative principles” if elected president. It is Pence’s third consecutive day of campaigning in Michigan, which has not backed a Republican nominee in 28 years. Trump is hoping to change that Tuesday.
Pence is urging Republicans in conservative-leaning western Michigan to “come home” to the Republican candidate to keep Clinton from shaping the Supreme Court.
Pence is set to also campaign in Wisconsin and Virginia on Saturday.
