SocraticGadfly: Is Mike Pence practicing pre-Nov. 3 social distancing?

Is Mike Pence practicing pre-Nov. 3 social distancing?

Let us say polls are right and stay right through Nov. 3 and Joe Biden is elected, and by a fair margin.

What next for Mike Pence?

Behind the preternaturally white hair and the love for Mommy likes a slick politician.

And Trumpism, even with a Trump loss, is likely to stay ascendant in the GOP for years. The Lincoln Project's honchos have already admitted that.

So, Pence wears masks more and avoids dogpiling on semi-Toady Fauci, to what end? Is he looking at bridging a quasi-unbridgeable gap between Trumpers and Never Trumpers? I doubt he can pull it off in 2024, but the fact that he's doing these things now, and this may be the reason why, might be his small personal take on Trump's re-election chances.
