I honestly can't remember Mike Pence speaking out on anything - even during his debate with Kamala Harris (and the fly), he only quoted TFG. Even on SNL, a Mike Pence character appeared in skits, but his job was just to sit there in the room, no lines. That's obviously what TFG wants and those who are vying for the spot are doing everything they can to demonstrate loyalty over substance.

Must be invisible/low key and not take any glory away from Donald.
