Running mate Mike Pence urges 'forgiveness' for Donald Trump

Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence has emerged after a weekend out of the public eye to reaffirm his relationship with under-fire running mate Donald Trump.

After cancelling a weekend campaign appearance and leaving Mr Trump alone to deal with the backlash from a video of sexually predatory remarks, Mr Pence was campaigning again and praising Mr Trump's performance in Sunday's debate with Hillary Clinton.
