Tom LoBianco, a longtime Pence reporter, cuts to the core of the nation's most enigmatic politician in this intimate yet expansive account of the vice president's journey to the White House. Piety & Power traces Pence's personal and political life, painting a picture of a man driven by faith and conviction-and a hunger for power. LoBianco crafts a revealing portrait of the real Mike Pence-a politician whose understated style masks a drive for power hut also a surprising political acumen-by drawing on years of research, over one hundred exclusive interviews with those closest to the vice president, and deep ties both within the Beltway and Indiana state politics. Highlighting Pence's strained, at times obsequious, relationship with Trump; his marriage to Karen: his deeply repressed personality; his presidential aspirations and plans for America's future: and his deep-rooted faith in his country, in God, and ultimately himself, Piety & Power provides insights and answers as it sheds light on this ambitious Midwestern politician, his past, and his possible future.
