Who is Mike Pence Wife?

Mike Pence was born in Columbus, Indiana on June 7, 1959. The former Indiana governor also served as the Vice President of the United States from 2017 to 2021. Pence is a member of the Republican Party and represented the 2nd and 6th district of Indiana in the United States House of Representatives from 2001 to 2013.

Pence started the most significant tax cut in Indiana’s history after becoming the Governor in 2013. He focused more on funding for private education initiatives. Pence’s unbiased ideas regarding race, gender, or disability were reflected when he signed the bill against abortions because the procedure was the fetus’s race, gender, or disability. 

Later in July of 2016, Pence took back his gubernatorial reelection campaign and announced himself as the running mate of the Republican Presidential Nominee. They successfully won the presidential election in 2016. Pence was appointed as the chairman of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. This task force was specially arranged to tackle the COVID 19 pandemic in the United States. 

However, Trump and Pence lost the 2020 US Presidential elections to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Trump and his supporters were not ready to concede this defeat. False election cases and multiple lawsuits were filed, which also turned out to be unsuccessful. Pence conceded the results and didn’t overturn the election, certifying Biden and Harris as clear winners. 

This led to a tiff between Donald Trump and Pence. Pence also had to face threats and violence from Trump’s supporters.
