Pence to House GOP: Trump needs your help

GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence huddled with more than 200 House Republicans in a closed-door meeting Tuesday, seeking to assuage lawmakers still skeptical of Donald Trump.

Pence, a former congressman who worked his way up to a House GOP leadership post, was introduced by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and received several standing ovations at the Capitol Hill Club powwow.

The Indiana governor's pitch was simple and straightforward: give us your input on personnel and policy ideas, and help us win. "Trump is one of the most gracious and considerate people I've ever been around in public life," Pence told his former colleagues, according to sources in the room.

"Trump is a good man. He has a Reagan-like vision for the future of our country. Many of the criticisms of Trump were also thrown at Reagan. And he needs our help to close this election out to victory."
