The children of VP Mike Pence aren't in the spotlight like the kids of President Trump.
Here's a look at the lives of Charlotte, Audrey, and Michael Pence, Jr.
Mike the Marine
The Pences' eldest child is son Michael J. Pence, Jr., who stuck close to his family's
Indiana stomping grounds when he attended Purdue University.
After graduation, he joined the service, commissioning as a second lieutenant in the United States
Marine Corps in 2015 at age 23.
Junior then pursued aviator training at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, and
was later stationed in Mississippi.
"Very proud of our son, and what he's accomplished."
What followed was no doubt a busy time for the young officer.
He married his college sweetheart, Sarah Whiteside, in an "intimate" ceremony at the governor's
mansion in Indiana in December 2016; and he attended his father's swearing-in as vice
president in January 2017.
In October 2017, the Pence family gathered for a delayed wedding reception at Brown County
State Park in Indiana.
Audrey the Independent
The vice president's youngest child is Audrey Pence, who turned 18 and thus became eligible
to vote just before the 2012 election that sent her father to the Indiana governor's
mansion.
While her dad is obviously a Republican through and through, Audrey has been hesitant to assign
herself to a party, and considers herself socially liberal.
While still in high school, she told an NBC affiliate,
"Probably the person I get the most respect from is my dad.
He tells me so many times, 'I am so proud of you for having your own opinions and looking
into things.'"
As a graduate of Northwestern University with a degree in international affairs, Audrey
has wasted no time gaining real-world experience traveling to Turkey and the Balkans as a journalist.
Her piece on the 1915 Armenian Genocide was even published by CNN back in 2015, before
her dad's future boss began his famous feud with the network:
"I am not going to give you a question.
You are fake news."
Charlotte the Author
President Trump doesn't have any pets, but the Pence family has a rabbit named "Marlon
Bundo," along with two cats, Oreo and Pickle.
In March 2018, Second Lady Karen Pence and their daughter, middle child Charlotte, published
Marlon Bundo's A Day in the Life of the Vice President.
It's a story about Mike Pence's vice-presidential responsibilities, written from the bunny's
point of view, released to raise money for two charitable organizations: the art therapy
initiative Tracy's Kids and an anti-human trafficking program called A21.
HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver highlighted the release of that book while also calling
attention to the vice president's conservative beliefs - and political record - pertaining
to LGBTQ issues.
The show published a parody book - also for charity - titled A Day in the Life of Marlon
Bundo.
It's a love-is-love story about a bunny named Marlon Bundo who falls in love with another
boy bunny named Wesley.
Proceeds go to AIDS United and the Trevor Project, a suicide hotline for LGBTQ teens.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Pence herself was surprisingly enthusiastic about the whole thing, and even
bought the Last Week Tonight book.
"I think, you know, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, in a way…
his book is contributing to charities that, um, I, I think we can all get behind.
I mean we have two books that are giving to charities that are about bunnies, I'm all
for it really."
Charlotte the Vampire?
Before the duelling bunny books were released, you probably knew Charlotte best from a viral
photo of the Pence family.
During a break from the 2016 campaign, Mike, Karen, and Charlotte grabbed a meal at a Chili's
in New York City.
Papa Pence shared a picture of the meal on Twitter.
In the snap, there's a mirror adjacent to the family's table, and Karen and Mike are
clearly visible in that mirror - but where is Charlotte's reflection?
The internet went wild speculating about Charlotte secretly being a vampire, or a ghost, or a
Photoshop job gone wrong.
The reality, of course, was that the photo was simply taken at such an angle that she's
just blocked from appearing in the mirror.
But the 2016 campaign season was an unprecedentedly wild and stressful time, so you can't blame
people for blowing off a little steam.
