After consulting his confidants, Pence refused to capitulate, concluding that the vice president merely played a ceremonial role in the process and had no authority to rebuff the election results. <\/p>\n<p>Trump has since publicly repudiated Pence for showing a lack of loyalty to him and an <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tennessean.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2022\/06\/17\/donald-trump-slams-mike-pence-during-nashville-speech-jan-6-hearings-continue\/7622080001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">absence of \u201ccourage\u201d<\/a> more broadly.

Pence famously drew a sharp temperamental contrast with his onetime boss, exuding a less imposing and more verbally restrained persona compared to Trump. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most [he] would say of Trump was, \u2018He\u2019s like an untamed lion who came into the city,&#8221; a source told the authors of the book. \u201cWhen this person expressed pointed criticism, the vice-president would simply reply, \u2018Well, we\u2019re praying for him,\u2019\u201d the book said, per the <i>Guardian<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>The book was written by married reporter couple Peter Baker, of the <i>New York Times<\/i>, and Susan Glasser, of the <i>New Yorker<\/i>, who interviewed Trump in April and November of last year. <\/p>\n<p>Trump <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/article\/donald-trump-2024-decision.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previously told<\/a> <i>New York Magazine <\/i>that his decision has already been made about 2024 and that the only outstanding issue is when he would make an announcement.
