GOP VP nominee Mike Pence took the stage and addressed a raucous crowd at the Republican National Convention Wednesday night.
Pence lauded Trump is his own man, an independent spirit, and said change in the country will be "huge" under his presidency.
Delegates cheered: "We like Mike! We like Mike!"
Pence framed the November presidential race as crucial to defining the makeup of the Supreme Court for the next 40 years. He said voters must ensure it's Trump picking the justices.
He called presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton the "secretary of the status quo," referring to her former job as secretary of state.
Pence said he never thought he'd be standing on the stage at his party's national convention. He joked that Trump is charismatic and must have been looking for balance in choosing him.
