Former Vice President Mike Pence’s Simon and Schuster autobiography “So Help Me God” was released Nov. 15, 2022, but on Nov. 9, Pence spent a hefty sum at an online bookstore, according to financial reports from the Federal Elections Commission.<\/p>\n

In the fourth quarter of 2022, Pence showed that he spent a whopping\u00a0$91,000 at Books On Call, LLC, the largest<\/a>\u00a0expenditure in his full financial report. The book then suddenly, or perhaps coincidently, scored a spot on the\u00a0New York Times’<\/em>\u00a0Bestseller’s List.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear if Pence’s massive expenditure was for his own book, though it’s unlikely he was stocking up on the seven volumes of\u00a0Harry Potter\u00a0<\/em>for 10,000 people. The category for the disbursement in the report was “collateral materials,” which is the\u00a0marketing term<\/a>\u00a0for media used to promote yourself and your brand.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Donald Trump Jr. scored the top spot on the\u00a0New York Times’<\/em>\u00a0Bestseller list after his father and others bought his book in bulk.\u00a0The Republican Party even<\/a>\u00a0went so far as to send out a promotional email for Trump Jr. They spent\u00a0nearly $100,000 on the book.<\/a><\/p>\n

A Trump campaign email offered free signed copies to anyone who donated $50.\u00a0Ultimately, nine conservative groups<\/a>\u00a0were found buying up Trump Jr.’s book in bulk.<\/p>\n

After being ridiculed for the marketing ploy, Trump Jr. announced he was\u00a0“self-publishing” his 2020 book “Liberal Privilege,”<\/a>\u00a0which contained\u00a0a typo on the cover<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump’s campaign or super PAC hasn’t sent out an email to promote Pence’s book, however.<\/p>\n
