Does Mike Pence still believe Donald Trump is a good man?

NPR host Steve Inskeep interviewed the former Vice President, whose new memoir, “So Help Me God,” recounts his life up to the moment when he refused to overturn the 2020 election defeat of then-President Donald Trump.
Asked whether he still considers Trump a good man, Pence replied at considerable length without ever saying that he did. He said only that Trump had authored important achievements but was "wrong" on Jan. 6.
"I truly do believe that only God knows our hearts," he added. "And I'll leave it to others to make their own judgments."

You have a choice in Nov between two people to do a job for you in 2025. Do you trust them and do they have those abilities? Both have lied to you for years. Harris told you Biden was sharp and in charge as close as a day before the week of his exit, yet in many events she was ignoring him and her body language indicated Biden was not in charge. Trump has embellished himself and has selective policy vision...but so does she. So if you take this serious you'll think which of these can do the job best if not constantly kneecapped by partisan media or shadow organizations. If neither, then select Kennedy. If you can't control or remove emotions from the choice, then you've already long since decided.
