Donald Trump chose Mike Pence as his running mate in the 2016 presidential election for several strategic reasons. Pence, a former governor of Indiana, brought a strong conservative background and appeal to evangelical voters, which helped solidify Trump's support among the Republican base. Additionally, Pence's established political experience and calm demeanor provided a contrast to Trump's more brash style, aiming to attract moderate and traditional Republican voters. Their partnership aimed to unify different factions within the party and enhance Trump's chances of winning the election.

Are Donald Trump and Mike Pence at odds?

In my opinion, the idea might have been to pair Donald Trump with a more traditional conservative such as Mike Pence. If so, their personalities were "at odds" to begin with, and they will never mirror each other. But it doesn't appear they communicate much, either, or listen to what each other says publicly. So for instance, their statements on key issues often conflict, for example: Whether anyone needs to be concerned about voter fraud. As far as Mike Pence, I think his biggest disadvantage is being paired with Trump. Pence has policy ideas; Trump does not. Pence has focused his morality and views; Trump has not. Pence tries to be true to his words; Trump can change statements many times a day. Pence does not seem to play to media reactions; Trump does, which means he's like a blade of grass caught up in a tornado of his own making, always whipping around and changing directions. I think Pence would make a far better President than would Trump.
