NEW YORK (AP) -- Donald Trump says the man who will join him on the Republican presidential ticket is a "man of character, honor and honesty."
Trump calls Indiana Gov. Mike Pence "a solid, solid person" and is contrasting his character to what he deemed "the corruption of Hillary Clinton," his likely Democratic opponent in the fall election.
Trump declares at an announcement event Saturday morning in New York, "What a difference between crooked Hillary Clinton and Mike Pence."
The two men are scheduled to formally become their party's nominees at next week's Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
Trump says he and Pence are the "the law and order candidates," adding that his potential administration would be far tougher on both foreign and domestic terrorism than would Clinton.
