Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep interviews former Vice President Mike Pence about his new book "So Help Me God.” They cover Pence’s experience of Jan 6 and how his relationship with Donald Trump has evolved since Pence refused to overturn their election defeat. Pence says that he and former President Donald Trump have since gone “our separate ways.”

Pence also reflects on the future of the Republican Party, the message that the midterms sent on abortion, and how he believes his faith has been misunderstood.
