She’s grown out her bob and straight-across bangs favor of longer locks. Her bs-sual outfs have been trad up for sleek pantsus and streamled skirts. The shift has been subtle, but hasn’t gone unremarked. In a <a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">vio</a> posted to her dghter <strong>Charlotte Pence</strong>’s Instagram acunt October, Pence appears a double-breasted drs wh gold buttons and a cched belt. “Mrs. Pence, I love how you’ve updated your look,” one menter wrote. Another add, “Mrs. Pence looks SO amazg. You n tell that she lost weight.”</p><p>“She really has had a total makeover, she looks great,” a Pence fay iend told me. “She looks like she’s happy, she radiat nfince.” A veteran Republin operative close to the Tmp Whe Hoe said he hadn’t noticed the change until I brought up, but on review said looked like she was growg to the role of send lady: “She had kd of a subdued untry prence before, now she has more of a statwoman look.”</p><p class="paywall">Pence’s spokwoman, <strong>Kara Brooks,</strong> cled requts for ment, and other Pence advisers, who protect Pence fiercely, cled to talk about her new image. But longtime Indiana Republins who’ve known the Penc for s say ’s all part of their long game to w the Whe Hoe, perhaps 2024—a topic of creasg speculatn as <strong>Mike Pence</strong> tak more mpaign-style trips to battleground stat, cludg a <a href=">b tour</a> of Michigan this week. One longtime Tmp adviser told me Pence’s n for the Whe Hoe starts the day after the 2020 electn.</p><div class="Contaer-bkChBi byNLHx"></div><p class="paywall">From the start, Karen was a mystery to <strong>Donald Tmp</strong>’s mpaign and admistratn—a potentially dangero unknown, Tmpworld sourc said. Her reported <a href=">righteo anger</a> at Tmp October 2016, when the <em>Washgton Post</em> published the <em>Accs Hollywood</em> tape, seemed to nfirm she wasn’t fully on board. On electn night, after disverg Tmp had won, Karen <a href=">twice rebuffed kiss</a> om Mike. (In a rare <a href=">terview</a> wh <em>USA Today</em> last November, she said she did not rell the cints.)</p><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad---ntent"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot---ntent" data-no-id="c8qz5"></div></div><p class="paywall">Once si the admistratn, Karen largely kept to herself, multiple sourc said, workg on favore issu such as <a href=">art therapy</a> and relief for the <a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">spo of active ary personnel and veterans</a>. That wouldn’t be odd a normal admistratn, but Tmp mands plete loyalty, and Karen’s secln rerced the belief among some Tmp advisers that she wasn’t on their team. To Tmpworld, that was particularly dangero nsirg her <a href=">role</a> as unofficial chief adviser and gatekeeper to the vice print. Tmp’s advisers gradually picked up on what Indiana polis had long known: that there was only one person Mike’s ner circle, and she uld make or break an ia, multiple sourc told me for my <a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Mike Pence bgraphy, <em>Piety and Power</em></a>.</p><p class="paywall">Meanwhile, the Penc adjted to beg back D.C., this time the limelight. (Their first 12 years Washgton had been spent a relative bubble Arlgton, Virgia, where they raised their three school-aged children.) When beltway power-watchers chattered about the dissonance between an ex-mol first lady and a Midwtern wife, the Penc largely took stri—until the kg and queen of Jordan vised them June 2018. Mike tweeted perfunctory photos of their meetg wh <strong>Kg Abdullah II</strong> and <strong>Queen Rania,</strong> and Twter trolls <a href=">laced to Karen</a> over her outf: her drs was too short, they said, and was sndalo to see an olr woman bare her shoulrs.</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-1 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">Pence’s sular world of advisers rpond private wh righteo dignatn, but publicly let sli, givg the appearance barely fazed them. At the time, no ls than <em>Vany Fair</em> me to Karen’s fense. “There are many thgs worthy of crique when to the Send Fay and the current admistratn, fashn choic clud,” <a href=">wrote</a> <strong>Erika Harwood,</strong> lkg to an <a href=">article</a> about the vice print’s apparent xenophobia. “A woman over 60 showg her shoulrs, many may be surprised to learn, is not one of them.”</p><div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--article-mid-ntent" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--article-mid-ntent nsumer-marketg-un__slot---ntent"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><p class="paywall">Internally, however, the cint marked a turng pot, sourc told me. When she left Indiana, her wardrobe rembled what an average woman might pick up at a partment store. (Mike’s brand remas, proudly, <a href=">Joseph A. Bank sus</a>—jt a handful.) Now, she’s dabblg tailored outfs more le wh the buttoned-up look of Washgton, and she’s stayg active by gog for regular ns. Some Indiana polis speculated that ’s simply easier for Karen to foc on herself as send lady than when she was first lady Indiana; she don’t ok meals anymore, and her kids have mostly left the nt, givg her more personal time. But other observers noted that she will be unr prsure to fe herself to the public if her hband plans to n for print 2024, and the daily distractn of Tmp’s rangement has provid the perfect smokcreen behd which to start the procs.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB kNleGZ sticky-box"><div

a <a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">vio msage</a> sayg she was ready to stand firmly behd Tmp his reelectn bid. Here, her new look was notable: an unrstated black drs and pearls, while makg a direct appeal to the mera to vote Tmp. The move had the effect of silencg hostile factns the Whe Hoe, who had feared that while Mike uld lgh off Tmp’s foul mouth and philanrg, Karen still me off like a “sld,” one Washgton Republin noted. <strong>Jared Khner</strong> and <strong>Ivanka Tmp</strong> had been <a href=">floatg the ia</a> of replacg Mike on the ticket for a few months (somethg they ny), and my book tailed new rmatn about Karen’s powerful role Mike’s life that even Tmp’s vettg team hadn’t picked up on—for stance, her hidn hand drivg an <a href=">expansn of Mediid</a> while Mike was ernor. But a few days later, Hoe Speaker <strong>Nancy Pelosi</strong> <a href=">announced</a> a formal impeachment vtigatn to Tmp, and sudnly the chatter of removg Pence om the ticket seemed not jt trivial, but perhaps even suicidal, wh ngrsnal vtigators bearg down.</p><p class="has-dropp paywall">Polil spo have often gone through refns, perhaps none more famo than the <a href=">1992 effort</a> to remake <strong>Hillary Clton</strong>’s image om one of reer woman to somethg more fay-oriented. Ironilly, Karen has had to move the other way, toward an image that feels more morn. One veteran strategist of multiple Republin Whe Ho noted that the Washgton esphere is tough for any send lady, but pecially so for one beg nstantly judged agast <strong>Melania Tmp.</strong> Karen, the strategist noted, is jt startg to fd her footg, both the admistratn and on the mpaign trail.</p><p class="paywall">As part of her evolutn, last May, Karen ran a mi-marathon along the C&O nal, which ns om jt outsi Geetown to the tony suburbs of Washgton, wh a young gay uple who are iends wh the Pence kids and have bee regulars at fay get-togethers. (One half of the uple posted a photo of himself to Instagram nng the race. He didn’t return a requt for ment, and Karen’s office cled to ment on the race.) A Pence fay iend said she was glad to jo them but didn’t want to draw attentn to , part for fear of a backlash agast the uple the LGBTQ muny. But another Republin operative speculated was as much about protectg the gay uple om blowback on the left as was about protectg Mike and Karen om blowback on the Christian Right.</p><p class="paywall">At the same time, Karen has begun to dial up her volvement the print’s mpaign, hostg a <a href=">“Women for Tmp”</a> event last fall and makg more <a href=">jot appearanc</a> wh Melania. When <a href=">asked</a> by <em>USA Today</em> if that nstuted an “expansn of her mpaign role,” she bshed asi the qutn: “That’s an tertg qutn to me bee I’ve been mpaigng sce 1987, so ’s kd of funny for people to thk that I’m sudnly mpaigng. It may have that appearance, though, to people.” (In fact was an unually ndid rponse; the tight circle of Penceworld rarely talks openly about Karen’s power and polil acumen, which she veloped njotly wh her hband over more than three s the public sphere.)</p><p class="paywall">As I’ve <a href=">reported</a>, the Penc have been foced on the Whe Hoe sce November 2008, the moment after then senator <strong>Barack Obama</strong>’s electn, when Mike tly ught fire on the right. Their origal plan jog the Tmp ticket, sourc told me for my book, was to n for the Republin nomatn 2020 when Tmp lost 2016. That, of urse, didn’t happen, so the Penc’ wdow was phed to 2024. Sce the 2016 electn, Mike has mpaigned and fundraised extensively for Tmp, which has the dual benef of givg him exposure and velopg stronger ti wh Republin mega-donors who will ci who ns the subsequent electn.</p><p class="paywall">Ergo the timg for the reventn of Karen, said one longtime Indiana Republin, is ial. If they waed until the 2024 mpaign to revent her image, too many people would take notice. But now, wh the Democratic primary and the Tmp media circ nng full tilt, is the perfect time for a soft lnch. The Indiana Republin noted the Penc have time and space to make mistak before the heat of the spotlight melts them. “They’re playg long ball.”</p><div role="headg" aria-level="3" class="paywall

In November 2016, a photograph purportedly showg a young Mike Pence wh his cht exposed was circulated on social media along wh the claim that documented the vice print's "gay past":. Several stori have also appeared ncerng Mike Pence and his support of "nversn therapy" for gay people. While the homophobic polician is famo for champng a raft of anti-LGBTQ+ measur as Indiana’s ernor–cludg an anti-gay law that sparked wispread backlash–there’s vio circulatg of him dashg up to a podium wearg rabow ears and wavg rabow pompoms.

He’s gay as a goose! The outf go nicely wh his gay wboy attire. But hey: when Pence’s printial n don’t work out, he uld always jo a gay dancg troupe.

“SHE REALLY HAS HAD A TOTAL MAKEOVER”: KAREN PENCE’S TRANSFORMATN IS A PLAY FOR 2024THE SEND LADY HAS EMERGED WH A NEW LOOK—“MORE OF A STATWOMAN,” SAYS A VETERAN REPUBLIN—AND A RENEWED MMENT TO THE TMP WHE HOE. SOURC CLOSE TO THE PENC SAY ’S ALL PART OF THEIR PLAN FOR A PRINTIAL MPAIGN: “THEY’RE PLAYG LONG BALL.”BY TOM LOBIANFEBARY 26, 2020BY HOLLIE ADAMS/BLOOMBERG/GETTY IMAG.SAVE THIS STORYSAVESAVE THIS STORYSAVEQUIETLY, ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLY, KAREN PENCE HAS BEGUN TO CHANGE. SHE’S GROWN OUT HER BOB AND STRAIGHT-ACROSS BANGS FAVOR OF LONGER LOCKS. HER BS-SUAL OUTFS HAVE BEEN TRAD UP FOR SLEEK PANTSUS AND STREAMLED SKIRTS. THE SHIFT HAS BEEN SUBTLE, BUT HASN’T GONE UNREMARKED. IN A VIO POSTED TO HER DGHTER CHARLOTTE PENCE’S INSTAGRAM ACUNT OCTOBER, PENCE APPEARS A DOUBLE-BREASTED DRS WH GOLD BUTTONS AND A CCHED BELT. “MRS. PENCE, I LOVE HOW YOU’VE UPDATED YOUR LOOK,” ONE MENTER WROTE. ANOTHER ADD, “MRS. PENCE LOOKS SO AMAZG. YOU N TELL THAT SHE LOST WEIGHT.”“SHE REALLY HAS HAD A TOTAL MAKEOVER, SHE LOOKS GREAT,” A PENCE FAY IEND TOLD ME. “SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S HAPPY, SHE RADIAT NFINCE.” A VETERAN REPUBLIN OPERATIVE CLOSE TO THE TMP WHE HOE SAID HE HADN’T NOTICED THE CHANGE UNTIL I BROUGHT UP, BUT ON REVIEW SAID LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS GROWG TO THE ROLE OF SEND LADY: “SHE HAD KD OF A SUBDUED UNTRY PRENCE BEFORE, NOW SHE HAS MORE OF A STATWOMAN LOOK.”PENCE’S SPOKWOMAN, KARA BROOKS, CLED REQUTS FOR MENT, AND OTHER PENCE ADVISERS, WHO PROTECT PENCE FIERCELY, CLED TO TALK ABOUT HER NEW IMAGE. BUT LONGTIME INDIANA REPUBLINS WHO’VE KNOWN THE PENC FOR S SAY ’S ALL PART OF THEIR LONG GAME TO W THE WHE HOE, PERHAPS 2024—A TOPIC OF CREASG SPECULATN AS MIKE PENCE TAK MORE MPAIGN-STYLE TRIPS TO BATTLEGROUND STAT, CLUDG A B TOUR OF MICHIGAN THIS WEEK. ONE LONGTIME TMP ADVISER TOLD ME PENCE’S N FOR THE WHE HOE STARTS THE DAY AFTER THE 2020 ELECTN.FROM THE START, KAREN WAS A MYSTERY TO DONALD TMP’S MPAIGN AND ADMISTRATN—A POTENTIALLY DANGERO UNKNOWN, TMPWORLD SOURC SAID. HER REPORTED RIGHTEO ANGER AT TMP OCTOBER 2016, WHEN THE WASHGTON POST PUBLISHED THE ACCS HOLLYWOOD TAPE, SEEMED TO NFIRM SHE WASN’T FULLY ON BOARD. ON ELECTN NIGHT, AFTER DISVERG TMP HAD WON, KAREN TWICE REBUFFED KISS OM MIKE. (IN A RARE TERVIEW WH USA TODAY LAST NOVEMBER, SHE SAID SHE DID NOT RELL THE CINTS.)ONCE SI THE ADMISTRATN, KAREN LARGELY KEPT TO HERSELF, MULTIPLE SOURC SAID, WORKG ON FAVORE ISSU SUCH AS ART THERAPY AND RELIEF FOR THE SPO OF ACTIVE ARY PERSONNEL AND VETERANS. THAT WOULDN’T BE ODD A NORMAL ADMISTRATN, BUT TMP MANDS PLETE LOYALTY, AND KAREN’S SECLN RERCED THE BELIEF AMONG SOME TMP ADVISERS THAT SHE WASN’T ON THEIR TEAM. TO TMPWORLD, THAT WAS PARTICULARLY DANGERO NSIRG HER ROLE AS UNOFFICIAL CHIEF ADVISER AND GATEKEEPER TO THE VICE PRINT. TMP’S ADVISERS GRADUALLY PICKED UP ON WHAT INDIANA POLIS HAD LONG KNOWN: THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON MIKE’S NER CIRCLE, AND SHE ULD MAKE OR BREAK AN IA, MULTIPLE SOURC TOLD ME FOR MY MIKE PENCE BGRAPHY, PIETY AND POWER.MEANWHILE, THE PENC ADJTED TO BEG BACK D.C., THIS TIME THE LIMELIGHT. (THEIR FIRST 12 YEARS WASHGTON HAD BEEN SPENT A RELATIVE BUBBLE ARLGTON, VIRGIA, WHERE THEY RAISED THEIR THREE SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN.) WHEN BELTWAY POWER-WATCHERS CHATTERED ABOUT THE DISSONANCE BETWEEN AN EX-MOL FIRST LADY AND A MIDWTERN WIFE, THE PENC LARGELY TOOK STRI—UNTIL THE KG AND QUEEN OF JORDAN VISED THEM JUNE 2018. MIKE TWEETED PERFUNCTORY PHOTOS OF THEIR MEETG WH KG ABDULLAH II AND QUEEN RANIA, AND TWTER TROLLS LACED TO KAREN OVER HER OUTF: HER DRS WAS TOO SHORT, THEY SAID, AND WAS SNDALO TO SEE AN OLR WOMAN BARE HER SHOULRS.PENCE’S SULAR WORLD OF ADVISERS RPOND PRIVATE WH RIGHTEO DIGNATN, BUT PUBLICLY LET SLI, GIVG THE APPEARANCE BARELY FAZED THEM. AT THE TIME, NO LS THAN VANY FAIR ME TO KAREN’S FENSE. “THERE ARE MANY THGS WORTHY OF CRIQUE WHEN TO THE SEND FAY AND THE CURRENT ADMISTRATN, FASHN CHOIC CLUD,” WROTE ERIKA HARWOOD, LKG TO AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE VICE PRINT’S APPARENT XENOPHOBIA. “A WOMAN OVER 60 SHOWG HER SHOULRS, MANY MAY BE SURPRISED TO LEARN, IS NOT ONE OF THEM.”INTERNALLY, HOWEVER, THE CINT MARKED A TURNG POT, SOURC TOLD ME. WHEN SHE LEFT INDIANA, HER WARDROBE REMBLED WHAT AN AVERAGE WOMAN MIGHT PICK UP AT A PARTMENT STORE. (MIKE’S BRAND REMAS, PROUDLY, JOSEPH A. BANK SUS—JT A HANDFUL.) NOW, SHE’S DABBLG TAILORED OUTFS MORE LE WH THE BUTTONED-UP LOOK OF WASHGTON, AND SHE’S STAYG ACTIVE BY GOG FOR REGULAR NS. SOME INDIANA POLIS SPECULATED THAT ’S SIMPLY EASIER FOR KAREN TO FOC ON HERSELF AS SEND LADY THAN WHEN SHE WAS FIRST LADY INDIANA; SHE DON’T OK MEALS ANYMORE, AND HER KIDS HAVE MOSTLY LEFT THE NT, GIVG HER MORE PERSONAL TIME. BUT OTHER OBSERVERS NOTED THAT SHE WILL BE UNR PRSURE TO FE HERSELF TO THE PUBLIC IF HER HBAND PLANS TO N FOR PRINT 2024, AND THE DAILY DISTRACTN OF TMP’S RANGEMENT HAS PROVID THE PERFECT SMOKCREEN BEHD WHICH TO START THE PROCS.MOST POPULARGEIA REPUBLINS SAY THEY'LL MOVE TO REMOVE FULTON COUNTY DA FANI WILLIS FROM OFFICE WH NEW STATE LAWBY ERIC LUTZMEGHAN MARKLE WILL BE JOG PRCE HARRY GERMANY FOR THE INVICT GAMBY ER VANRHOOFNEW ON NETFLIX: SEPTEMBER 2023'S BT NEW MOVI & SHOWSBY CHRIS MURPHYON SEPTEMBER 21—THREE DAYS BEFORE THE PUBLITN OF MY BOOK—KAREN UNVEILED A NEW TWTER ACUNT, AND A VIO MSAGE SAYG SHE WAS READY TO STAND FIRMLY BEHD TMP HIS REELECTN BID. HERE, HER NEW LOOK WAS NOTABLE: AN UNRSTATED BLACK DRS AND PEARLS, WHILE MAKG A DIRECT APPEAL TO THE MERA TO VOTE TMP. THE MOVE HAD THE EFFECT OF SILENCG HOSTILE FACTNS THE WHE HOE, WHO HAD FEARED THAT WHILE MIKE ULD LGH OFF TMP’S FOUL MOUTH AND PHILANRG, KAREN STILL ME OFF LIKE A “SLD,” ONE WASHGTON REPUBLIN NOTED. JARED KHNER AND IVANKA TMP HAD BEEN FLOATG THE IA OF REPLACG MIKE ON THE TICKET FOR A FEW MONTHS (SOMETHG THEY NY), AND MY BOOK TAILED NEW RMATN ABOUT KAREN’S POWERFUL ROLE MIKE’S LIFE THAT EVEN TMP’S VETTG TEAM HADN’T PICKED UP ON—FOR STANCE, HER HIDN HAND DRIVG AN EXPANSN OF MEDIID WHILE MIKE WAS ERNOR. BUT A FEW DAYS LATER, HOE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI ANNOUNCED A FORMAL IMPEACHMENT VTIGATN TO TMP, AND SUDNLY THE CHATTER OF REMOVG PENCE OM THE TICKET SEEMED NOT JT TRIVIAL, BUT PERHAPS EVEN SUICIDAL, WH NGRSNAL VTIGATORS BEARG DOWN.POLIL SPO HAVE OFTEN GONE THROUGH REFNS, PERHAPS NONE MORE FAMO THAN THE 1992 EFFORT TO REMAKE HILLARY CLTON’S IMAGE OM ONE OF REER WOMAN TO SOMETHG MORE FAY-ORIENTED. IRONILLY, KAREN HAS HAD TO MOVE THE OTHER WAY, TOWARD AN IMAGE THAT FEELS MORE MORN. ONE VETERAN STRATEGIST OF MULTIPLE REPUBLIN WHE HO NOTED THAT THE WASHGTON ESPHERE IS TOUGH FOR ANY SEND LADY, BUT PECIALLY SO FOR ONE BEG NSTANTLY JUDGED AGAST MELANIA TMP. KAREN, THE STRATEGIST NOTED, IS JT STARTG TO FD HER FOOTG, BOTH THE ADMISTRATN AND ON THE MPAIGN TRAIL.AS PART OF HER EVOLUTN, LAST MAY, KAREN RAN A MI-MARATHON ALONG THE C&O NAL, WHICH NS OM JT OUTSI GEETOWN TO THE TONY SUBURBS OF WASHGTON, WH A YOUNG GAY UPLE WHO ARE IENDS WH THE PENCE KIDS AND HAVE BEE REGULARS AT FAY GET-TOGETHERS. (ONE HALF OF THE UPLE POSTED A PHOTO OF HIMSELF TO INSTAGRAM NNG THE RACE. HE DIDN’T RETURN A REQUT FOR MENT, AND KAREN’S OFFICE CLED TO MENT ON THE RACE.) A PENCE FAY IEND SAID SHE WAS GLAD TO JO THEM BUT DIDN’T WANT TO DRAW ATTENTN TO , PART FOR FEAR OF A BACKLASH AGAST THE UPLE THE LGBTQ MUNY. BUT ANOTHER REPUBLIN OPERATIVE SPECULATED WAS AS MUCH ABOUT PROTECTG THE GAY UPLE OM BLOWBACK ON THE LEFT AS WAS ABOUT PROTECTG MIKE AND KAREN OM BLOWBACK ON THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT.AT THE SAME TIME, KAREN HAS BEGUN TO DIAL UP HER VOLVEMENT THE PRINT’S MPAIGN, HOSTG A “WOMEN FOR TMP” EVENT LAST FALL AND MAKG MORE JOT APPEARANC WH MELANIA. WHEN ASKED BY USA TODAY IF THAT NSTUTED AN “EXPANSN OF HER MPAIGN ROLE,” SHE BSHED ASI THE QUTN: “THAT’S AN TERTG QUTN TO ME BEE I’VE BEEN MPAIGNG SCE 1987, SO ’S KD OF FUNNY FOR PEOPLE TO THK THAT I’M SUDNLY MPAIGNG. IT MAY HAVE THAT APPEARANCE, THOUGH, TO PEOPLE.” (IN FACT WAS AN UNUALLY NDID RPONSE; THE TIGHT CIRCLE OF PENCEWORLD RARELY TALKS OPENLY ABOUT KAREN’S POWER AND POLIL ACUMEN, WHICH SHE VELOPED NJOTLY WH HER HBAND OVER MORE THAN THREE S THE PUBLIC SPHERE.)AS I’VE REPORTED, THE PENC HAVE BEEN FOCED ON THE WHE HOE SCE NOVEMBER 2008, THE MOMENT AFTER THEN SENATOR BARACK OBAMA’S ELECTN, WHEN MIKE TLY UGHT FIRE ON THE RIGHT.
