"I introduce a man who I truly believe will be outstanding in every way and who will be the next vice-president of the United States, Governor Mike Pence," he said.

Joining Mr Trump on the podium, Mr Pence said: "I come to this moment deeply humbled but with a grateful heart, grateful to God for his amazing grace."
