New York Times: “In the most consequential mission of his career, Mr. Pence has tried to navigate the complexities of a mysterious disease and the vagaries of a mercurial president at the same time, steering the response to the most deadly pandemic in generations without getting caught up in the melodrama of the moment. Yet questions have lingered about how seriously he himself took the threat at first and what advice he gave the president in the days when it really mattered”
Another governor, who asked not to be named, said Mr. Pence never betrays what he really thinks about the president’s behavior: “Multiple times, I say, ‘But Mike, this is just crazy,’ and sometimes there will be a little pause and I’m waiting for him to say, ‘Yes, I know.’’ But he never does. Instead, Mr. Pence says, ‘I understand. Thank you for your input.’”
