Mike pence
An ultra-conservative and fervent Christian, the Vice President of the United States, Mike Pence, attracts all eyes after President Donald Trump announced that he tested positive for coronavirus.
With a negative test for covid-19, obtained hours after the contagion of the Head of State was confirmed, Pence is still the only one available of the pair to campaign on the ground during the hospitalization and quarantine that the Republican President is going through, one month before the national elections.
Second in the order of presidential succession, the hypothesis that he will take the reins of the greatest power in the world and the campaign, if Trump is prevented from taking office, is still very hypothetical.
Aligned appearance, discreet smile, carefully combed gray hair, the unmistakable style of Pence, at 61 years old, is diametrically opposed to that of the strident and controversial President of the United States.
Very active in the field, especially in the center of the country, the former governor of Indiana defines himself as “Christian, conservative and Republican, in that order.”
As governor, he distinguished himself as a herald of traditional family values: anti-abortion, anti-equal marriage, and an enemy of the Syrian refugee settlement in his state.
