It may have had something to do with the terrible approval numbers that saddled his faltering gubernatorial campaign, and now bog down his handpicked replacement, Eric Holcomb. Or, maybe Pence saw it as the last chance to live out his dream of moving on from Indiana, and into Trump’s national spotlight.
