Mike Pence is standing by Donald Trump, saying he never considered leaving the Trump ticket.

Following the latest presidential debate, Pence says Monday that he believes Trump is sorry for the crude and predatory language about women he made in a 2005 video that became public last week.

Pence tells Fox News that Trump “stepped up” during the debate: “He showed humility. He showed strength. He expressed genuine contrition for the words he had used” in the video.

He later tells CNN that he never considered dropping off Trump’s ticket. He says: “It’s the greatest honor of my life.”
