Mike Pence accepts Republican Party's nomination for vice president, calls for four more years of Trump
Vice President Mike Pence speaks at kickoff of the 2020 Republican National Convention.
The Washington Post on Monday accused Vice President Mike Pence of being in "subservience" to President Trump.
Pence officially accepted his renomination as the Republican vice-presidential candidate at the Republican National Convention.
