Former Vice President Mike Pence chose not to engage in a war of words with his ex-boss, demonstrating his commitment to a more civil approach during a meet-and-greet event in New Hampshire. A registered Independent voter named Tom Loughlin expressed doubts about Pence’s ability to stand up to Donald Trump, to which Pence responded by emphasizing his past actions and his intention to focus on presenting the American people with a clear choice.
Pence, who is planning to challenge Trump in the GOP presidential primaries next year, spoke candidly about his White House prospects and the need to address the concerns raised by Loughlin. As a former critic of Trump’s actions leading up to the January 6th coup attempt, Pence acknowledged the importance of standing up for conservative principles but expressed his belief that Trump no longer aligned with those principles.
Stressing his preference for substantive discourse over trading insults, Pence made it clear that he didn’t view personal attacks as an effective strategy for winning the presidency. Instead, he underscored the importance of outlining the choices facing the American people, a strategy that he and his campaign have been employing and will continue to pursue.

Pence’s remarks come ahead of the GOP’s first primary debate in Milwaukee, a contentious event that Trump has threatened to skip. While several candidates, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, have met the Republican National Committee’s donor criteria for participation, Pence has yet to confirm whether he has reached the threshold.
Loughlin expressed disappointment with Pence’s polling numbers, which currently lag behind Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Vivek Ramaswamy. He urged Pence to address the dangers he believes Trump poses to the country and to focus on discussing the future.
