GOP VP candidate Mike Pence gets a haircut

WASHINGTON (AP): GOP vice presidential candidate Mike Pence got a haircut at a black-owned barbershop on Tuesday between campaign stops in the Philadelphia area.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has made overtures to black voters in recent days, asking them, “What do you have to lose?” by supporting him.

The owner, Henry Jones, says he had no idea who his lone customer for the day was when he arrived. The two discussed their families and sports while Pence sat for his $20 trim.

When the haircut ended, Jones asked Pence his name. When Pence identified himself as Indiana governor and GOP vice presidential candidate, Jones said, “Vice president?” and added, “This is history.”

Jones says Pence didn’t ask for his vote, and he is undecided in the November election.
