Today, electors convene in Washington to formally elect Republicans Donald Trump and Mike Pence as President and Vice President. Despite some electors refusing to place their votes for Donald Trump, it is still nearly certain that Trump and Pence will be the nation's new President and Vice President. While Trump stays in the spotlight nearly 24/7, the Vice President-Elect tends to slip under the radar. This is why we have provided you with some lesser-known facts about Mike Pence.

1. He Still Sleeps With His Childhood Blanket

Throughout the ups and downs of his political career, one thing has remained constant: his blankie. "Moving to a new city and having to be the new kid can be scary, that's why I always keep my blankie with me. Plus, it'll keep me company at the Vice Presidential residence with Biden haunting the place once he's gone," said the Vice President-elect.

2. He's Installing a Fireman's Pole at the Vice Presidential Residence

Number One Observatory Circle, which has been home to the Vice President since 1974, will now see a new addition, a fireman's pole. While little is known about Pence's motives for installing the pole, it will definitely shorten his commute from his bedroom, play area, and Roman bath house on the third floor to the first-floor foyer. "I just hate stairs," said Pence.

3. He Comes From a Wizarding Family

While six generations of Pences before him have been educated at Hogwarts, Mike Pence's parents were shocked to find out that he possessed no magical powers whatsoever. "Michael was never quite right after running full force and smashing into Platform Nine and Three-Quarters," said his mother Nancy.

4. He Has a Major Sweet Tooth

Colleagues of Mike Pence, both past and present can attest. Former aides and members of the Indiana state legislature have witnessed a sugar-deprived Mike Pence go to great lengths to satisfy his cravings. "At the beginning of his term as governor, Mr. Pence requested that we install a desk made entirely out of chocolate in the governor's office. By noon that day, half of the desk had already been devoured. We've had to install a new desk 72 times since," said Laura Richards, a former aide to the governor.

5. He Once Teepeed John McCain's House

"Ha, that's what you get for stealing my date to junior prom," said Pence joyfully. This was two years ago.
