Mike Pence isn’t the first former vice president to fail to become president. He isn’t even the first to fail to win his party’s nomination, as he acknowledged when he suspended his campaign on Saturday, or to challenge his former boss in the process. The history books are rarely kind to such men. Posterity treats them as afterthoughts and also-rans, with little to define them outside the shadow of the presidents they served.
His 2022 memoir emphasized that he was all-in on the legal challenges to the voting and shared the “concerns” about supposed irregularities in the process. It was only when there was no other choice that he did the right thing, correctly telling Trump that he had no power to unilaterally throw the election on Jan. 6, 2021. The mob that ransacked the Capitol and called for his hanging that day thought otherwise.
