The autobiography of former Vice President Mike Pence. Loyalty is a
Vice President's first duty; but there is a greater one--to God and
the Constitution. Mike Pence spent more hours in the Oval Office
than any of his predecessors. On the surface, the affable
evangelical Christian from a gas-station-owning family in Indiana
wouldn't seem to have much in common with a brash real estate mogul
from New York. But the unlikely duo formed a tight bond. Pence was
at Donald Trump's side when he enacted historic tax relief, when he
decided to take more assertive stances toward China and North
Korea, and when he appointed three Supreme Court justices. But the
relationship broke down after the 2020 election. On January 6,
2021, as the president pressured him to overturn the election, a
mob erected a gallows on Capitol Hill and its members chanted "Hang
Mike Pence!" as they rampaged through the halls of Congress. The
vice president refused to leave the Capitol, and once the riot was
quelled, he reconvened Congress to complete the work of a peaceful
transfer of power. So Help Me God is the chronicle of the events
and people who forged Mike Pence's character and led him to that
historic moment. His father, a Korean War combat veteran, was a
formidable influence, but so was the Indiana history professor who
inspired his devotion to the Constitution. And it was in college
and law school that he embraced his Christian faith and met the
love of his life, Karen--the two pillars that support him every
day. You will read how his early political career was full of
missteps that humbled him and how, as a talk radio host, Pence
found his voice and the path that led him to Congress, the
governor's office in Indiana, and back to Washington as vice
president. This is the inside story of the Trump administration by
its second highest official--what he said to the president and how
he was tested. The relationship begins in Indiana, when Pence sees
how Trump connects with working-class voters. After the election,
the vice president comes to appreciate how Trump maintains that
connection through unvarnished tweets and how his unorthodox style
led to historic breakthroughs, from tax cuts to trade deals, from
establishing the United States Space Force to the first new peace
agreement in the Middle East in more than twenty-five years. This
is the most robust defense of the Trump record of anyone who served
in the administration. But it is also about the private moments
when Pence pushed back forcefully, how he navigated through the
Mueller investigation, his damage control after Charlottesville,
and his work on healing racial rifts after the murder of George
Floyd. Pence was at the forefront when "history showed up" in the
form of a devastating pandemic, and he provides a detailed account
of leading the task force that circumvented bureaucracies to slow
the disease in its tracks. Yes, it sometimes involved brokering
peace between a president with an itchy Twitter finger and an
agitated New York governor, but above all, it meant giving states
and America's eager entrepreneurs the power to come up with the
solutions we needed. The result was the fastest development of
life-saving vaccines in history. In So Help Me God, Pence shows how
the faith that he embraced as a young man guided his every
decision. It is a faith that guided him on that historic day and
that keeps him happily at peace, ready to accept the next
challenge.
