“Well, my optimism does come from faith. It comes from my faith in God, but it also comes from faith in the American people, especially during difficult times. You know, what I learned is that when the wind blows and beats against the house, when the floodwaters rise, wildfires rage, the American people, whatever their politics, drop whatever they're doing, load up their cars with coolers full of water and food, tools, and they drive to where they can help. I know that’s happening in Texas as we speak today. I know it's happening in New Mexico. I’ve seen that so many different times.

I do believe our best days are ahead.” - Vice President @Mike_Pence
