Following his second stop in Bucks County, Pence went one-on-one with Eyewitness News and touched on a report that more than half of the non-governmental meetings that Hillary Clinton had while Secretary of State involved donors and The Clinton Foundation. Pence was eager to give his response.
"We now have even more evidence that pay-to-play politics was at work," the vice presidential hopeful told Eyewitness News. "It demands immediate action. They should shut down The Clinton Foundation immediately and President Obama should appoint an independent special prosecutor to fully investigate the relationship foreign donors to The Clinton Foundation and the state department. No one is above the law and the American people have a right to know and a right to know well before voting begins in this election about what that relationship involved. But, I can promise you, when Donald Trump becomes president of the United States, the pay-to-play politics that's represented here and so much characterizes Washington D.C. will be over."

Pence has been a relative supporter of free trade and touch on his opinion on that in light of meeting with so many Pennsylvania workers. "Donald Trump and I both support free trade," Pence said. "But, we both believe the time has come for us to look at The North American Free Trade Agreement and to look at these multi-national trade deals that the United States is thinking about entering into and ask whether or not they're really working for the American worker."
