Former Vice President Mike Pence’s recent friction with Donald Trump has sparked speculation about whether he would support Trump if he becomes the Republican nominee in the 2024 election. Despite running for president himself, Pence has been increasingly vocal about his role in certifying the previous election, standing his ground against Trump’s demands to overturn the results. In a recent interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Pence stated, “President Trump was wrong then and he’s wrong now. I had no power to overturn the election.” He emphasized his commitment to upholding the Constitution and expressed his belief that anyone who prioritizes themselves over the Constitution is unfit for the presidency.
Throughout the aftermath of the insurrection and the indictment of Trump, Pence had remained relatively quiet regarding Trump’s pressure to overturn the election. However, since announcing his candidacy in the GOP primary, Pence has been more forthright in criticizing his former running mate, even calling out Trump’s “gaggle of crackpot lawyers” for urging him to reject votes.
In response to Trump’s recent social media attack, Pence refrained from explicitly stating whether he would support Trump in 2024. He emphasized that it is still early in the election process and suggested that Republicans need new leadership both in the White House and the Republican Party.
When pressed by Bash about voting for Trump in 2024, Pence evaded a direct answer, saying, “I don’t think we’ll have to make that decision.” He expressed confidence that as in the past, Republican primary voters will choose new leadership for the nation.
In conclusion, while Pence did not specifically endorse or rule out supporting Trump as the Republican nominee, he indicated his belief in the need for new leadership and his confidence in the Republican primary voters to make the right choice.
