For those who do not have political news updates on their smartphones, Indiana Governor Mike Pence has just been announced as Donald Trump's running Vice President in the 2016 Presidential Election.

Trump publicly introduced his first-choice decision in New York City on July 16th where he spoke for 28 minutes about his campaign and then "getting back to Mike Pence" towards the end of his passionate speech. Pence shortly joined to accept the decision and gave a conventional Vice President acceptance speech. On stage, Trump mentioned his reasons for his decision after speaking about "crooked Hillary". The choice appeared as a surprise to the world because both are on opposing ends on some aspects.

Here are some fast facts about the running VP:

1. Elected as Indiana's 50th Governor in 2012

Pence seeked election after spending his political career in Congress and the House of Representatives.

2. Lifelong Hoosier

3. Married for 31 years

6. Yin to the Yang

Pence is the necessary positive force that has been missing from Trump's campaign. The media was surprised to hear about Trump's decision. Hopefully they will balance each other out come November.
