What can Vice President Mike Pence's past tell us about what kind of president he would be? (Peter Eisner)

Though his backstory is largely unknown, Vice President Mike Pence is often portrayed as the rational tactician, a mirror image to President  Trump’s unrestrained id. But in his new book "The Shadow President: The Truth About Mike Pence,” co-written with Michael D'Antonio, Peter Eisner  pushes back on this public perception and fleshes out the VP’s backstory with results that are illuminating. A former political editor for the Washington Post, Peter looks at exactly who Mike Pence is and what has motivated him in his career path in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
