Grace and mercy

I am looking forward to reading, or to be more precise, listening to on Audible, So Help Me God, the autobiography of former United States Vice President, Mike Pence. Pence and President Trump famously fell out when Pence did not overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential election, which to this day, Trump stubbornly asserts was stolen from him.

It is widely speculated that Pence is positioning himself to run for the Presidency in 2024. The publisher's blurb hints at this, stating that Pence is open to accepting "the next challenge." These types of books are usually part of a candidates' campaign strategy. The BBC thinks it very likely that he will be one of the contenders, as will Trump. If so, former allies will become rivals. Trump will mercilessly attack him, just as he did to his opponents in 2016, which will add an interesting dynamic to the primary and caucus season.
