Pence: ‘I accept’ Obama was born in US
Donald Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, on Wednesday said he accepts that President Obama was born in the U.S., something the GOP presidential nominee himself has shied away from discussing.
“I believe Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. I accept his birthplace,” the Indiana governor told reporters, according to multiple tweets.
{mosads}”I just don’t know where he’s coming from on foreign policy and on economics and on ObamaCare,” Pence added.
Pence declined to say whether Trump should apologize for questioning Obama’s birthplace, as Trump adviser Ben Carson has suggested he do.

“I don’t even talk about it anymore,” he said, adding, “I don’t think so.”
