Vice President Mike Pence has delicately sidestepped the infighting, scandals and staff shakeups that have dragged down many of Trumps aides, instead taking his cues from the president as he shapes one of the most consequential jobs in the world, Politico reports.
While many vice presidents angle for power inside the West Wing, Pence has defined his role narrowly. His thinking, according to those close to him, is that the vice president has only two constitutional duties to serve as president of the Senate and to be prepared in case of the worst. The rest is up to Trump
Pences approach has allowed him to artfully navigate the warring fiefdoms that have emerged in the West Wing and stay in Trumps good graces even if it means hes hasnt amassed the influence, as many had hoped, to pull the president in a more conservative direction.
