“He has incredible energy,” Vance said last summer, “and even though most of the people who work around the president of the United States are younger than him, I think we find that he is actually the last person to go to sleep, the last person to make phone calls at night, the first person to wake up and the first person to make phone calls in the morning.” “Yes, terrible tragedies happen, but I feel very confident that the President of the United States is doing well, and will see out the rest of his term doing great things for the American people.”
