Mike Pence may have “had the single most decisive victory in the history of vice presidential debates,” Donald Trump said Wednesday, adding that he’s been showered with praise for his running mate’s performance.
“How many of you watched the vice presidential debate last night?” Trump asked supporters during his rally in Henderson, Nevada. “Mike Pence did an incredible job, and I’m getting a lot of credit because that’s really my first so-called choice. That was my first hire, as we would say in Las Vegas. And I’ll tell you, he’s a good one. He was phenomenal. He was cool. He was smart. He was — I mean, you just take a look at him — he was meant to be doing what he’s doing and we are very, very proud of Gov. Mike Pence.”
Trump perhaps got the most credit from Pence himself, who told supporters during his own rally in Harrisonburg, Virginia, that it was Trump and his vision that won the night at the debate.
“Some people think I won,” Pence said, firing up the crowd. “But I’ll leave that to others. You know, what I can tell you is from where I sat, Donald Trump won the debate. Donald Trump’s vision to make America great again won the debate. And when we take that vision to every corner of Virginia and every corner of this great nation, this movement, that man and that vision are gonna win all the way to the White House.”
In Nevada, Trump paused to verbally thank the Indiana governor before continuing to celebrate his No. 2’s performance against Hillary Clinton’s running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine.
“I’d argue that Mike had the single most decisive victory in the history of vice presidential debates,” Trump declared. “I believe that, too. And last night, America also got to look firsthand at my judgment, and that was judgment. You know, you need judgment for people, for deals.”
