Former VP Mike Pence on what he told Trump in private

Former Vice President Mike Pence sits down with Margaret Hoover to discuss January 6th, his political future, and why he still stands by most of the record of the Trump administration.

Pence, out with a new memoir titled “So Help Me God,” details private conversations with Donald Trump about the 2020 election and defends his own rhetoric urging supporters to keep fighting in the weeks before January 6th.

He recounts the lessons of his years in Congress and how he developed his approach to the job of vice president, and he discusses some areas where he differed from Trump, such as his approach when dealing with Vladimir Putin.

Pence also explains why he is considering a 2024 presidential run and how he will decide whether to challenge Trump for the Republican nomination.
