Mike Pence Won’t Endorse Donald Trump for 2024 Election
Ex-Vice President Mike Pence expressed his refusal to endorse his previous partner, Donald Trump, for the upcoming 2024 election. In a Fox News interview, Pence mentioned his “profound differences” with Trump on a multitude of topics, making it impossible for him to back Trump ‘in good conscience’.
While Pence didn’t disclose who he’ll vote for in November, he was firm about not endorsing Biden either. He emphasized his refusal to endorse Trump, citing drastic ideological differences and Trump’s reversal of his stance on issues like the national deficit, abortion, and the TikTok ban.
He also highlighted Trump’s pressure on him to refute the 2020 election results, which strained their relationship and endangered his family’s life. Despite this, Pence chose to remain a Republican, dismissing any idea of running as a third-party candidate.
Pence stated his plans to focus the rest of the year promoting the broad, mainstream conservative agenda, which he believes strengthens and enriches America. He also hinted at Republicans choosing a “new standard bearer,” yet acknowledging the clear preference of Republican primary voters.
His political advocacy organization, Advancing American Freedom, recently announced a $20 million program to uphold conservatism. This comes after Trump urged Pence to support him, citing his contribution to Pence’s vice presidency and their successful term. However, Pence ended his campaign last year.
