Donald Trump's presidential bid has been a family affair and with the announcement of his running mate Mike Pence, the Indiana governor is bringing his own three children into the mix.

While Trump's kids have mostly followed in his footsteps with executive positions in their father's business, Pence's three children Michael, 24, Charlotte, 23, and Audrey, 21, have branched out into the military and media industries.

The Indiana politician's wife Karen Pence has been a teacher for more than 25 years, although she may give the Trump family a run for their money with her entrepreneurial spirit after she created her own business selling towel charms.

THE PENCE FAMILY Pence and his wife Karen have stayed together for more than 31 years after they met in church. Karen has been a teacher for more than 25 years, and has backed charities and initiatives related to education and art therapy. Their 24-year-old son Michael was made a Marine Corps officer last year after he graduated from Purdue University. Charlotte, 23, just graduated from DePaul University, where she double majored in English and Digital Cinema. Audrey, 21, is known for being 'socially liberal', but her differing views have never been a source of tension with her dad. Advertisement

THE TRUMP FAMILY Trump had three children with his first wife Ivana Trump. The eldest, Donald Trump Jr., 38 is a vice president of The Trump Organization. Ivanka, 34, has been the most prominent supporter of her father's campaign. Eric tends to be the most discreet, but he has called his father 'my idol and my boss.' Tiffany, Trump's only child with second wife Marla Maples, is known for dating a registered Democrat who likes Hillary Clinton on Facebook. Barron Trump, the Donald's 10-year-old son with current wife Melania, is said to prefer wearing suits over sweats. Advertisement

Unlike Trump, who has been married three times, Pence and his wife Karen have stayed together for more than 31 years after they met in church.

Karen, who could become Second Lady, backs several charities in her home state while running a business called 'That's My Towel!' Charm, Inc.

The metal charms, ranging in design from a hot dog to a cowboy boot, are attached to a metal hoop, which clips on to the towels as a means of identification.

The website states: 'Most of us have matching bath and beach towels, so it is easy to get them confused.

'So to solve this, I came up with the idea of a towel charm. They are a fun, environmentally-friendly, and inexpensive way to eliminate unnecessary laundry, make a statement with your unique charm, and solve the problem of “Who took my towel?”'

Trump's wife Melania, who made a name for herself as a fashion model, is also a businesswoman in her own right with a skincare line as well as a watch and jewelry business.

Trump's three children Donald, Eric and Ivanka have followed in their father's footsteps with positions in the real estate conglomerate Trump Organization.

Pence's influence can also be seen in his children- public service has certainly rubbed off on his son, who joined the military, while his two daughters appear to be interested in media after the politician made a start as a radio talk show host.

Trump has relied heavily on the counsel of the three children he had with first wife Ivana throughout his presidential candidacy. They were notably behind campaign manager Corey Lewandowski's sacking (pictured, left to right, Trump, Eric, Ivanka and Donald Jr)

The Trump Pence logo was relentlessly mocked on social media as inappropriate before it was ditched

Just as Donald Trump Jr. carries his father's namesake, Pence's firstborn is named Michael Pence.

The Indiana governor's 24-year-old son was made a Marine Corps officer last year after he graduated from Purdue University and studied to become a pilot.

Charlotte, 23, just graduated from DePaul University, where she double majored in English and Digital Cinema.

She has already racked up an impressive resume with several film internships, along with a brief stint as a US Senate page in 2011.

The youngest Pence child Audrey, a budding journalist studying at Northeastern University, is known for being 'politically independent' and 'socially liberal'.

She said she voted split ticket shortly after she turned 18, but her differing views have never been a source of tension with her dad.

'Probably the person I get the most respect from is my dad on that and he has always...he tells me so many times, "I am proud of you for having your own opinions and looking into things'," Audrey told WTHR.

Despite their differences, Audrey said she voted for her father for governor.

Similarly, Tiffany Trump, the business tycoon's only child with second wife Marla Maples, is known for dating Ross Mechanic, a registered Democrat who likes Hillary Clinton on Facebook.

Just as Trump's children have stumped for their father, the Pence clan have publicly supported their father's political career.

Pence told WTHR: 'This has always been a family affair for us, from the very first campaign headed out to county fairs, while Karen and I would be shaking hands at the Republican tent, the kids would be standing out in front of the tent, handing out flyers and shaking hands.'

Pence said his political career 'has always been a family affair for us'. His children were publicly supportive during his run for governor and got involved in his campaign (pictured, Pence, Karen and Charlotte July 16)
