Vice President Mike Pence criticized former President Barack Obama in an interview aired on Sept. 9, for breaking with tradition and giving a speech filled with criticism of President Donald Trump.
Traditionally, former presidents avoid criticizing their successors and don’t take active roles in political affairs. Despite previously indicating that he would follow that norm, Obama broke with tradition on Sept. 7 with a speech kicking off his campaign blitz to help Democrats regain control of Congress in the 2018 midterm elections.
