Former vice-president says tariffs ‘not a win for the American people’ and predicts public pressure will grow

I will guess that many of you don’t like Mike Pence, but he has said a few things which I think are good:

  • He has said Trump’s tariffs will probably harm Americans
  • He has criticised Trump for not backing Ukraine
  • He seems to want to respect Canada’s sovereignty, describing Canada as “a great ally, whose soldiers have fought and died alongside Americans in every war since world war one”

    Vps aren’t usually known for anything unless the party wants to push them for a future run. Sometimes they’re thrown something the president doesn’t want to do because they know it’s never going to end well, e.g. Kamala being tossed the border, but mostly the role of the VP is to be seen and not heard.
