But I do think that different times call for different leadership.
During his interview with Scripps News’ Andrew Rafferty, Pence explained why he was taking his time with making a decision. “We've been listening to people all over the country,” Pence told Rafferty. “We've been reflecting on the challenges this country is facing. And look, Andrew, I think the country's in a lot of trouble.
