Former Vice President Mike Pence made headlines on Friday when he announced that he would not be endorsing his former boss, Donald Trump, in the upcoming 2024 general election. Pence shared his decision during an appearance on Fox News, citing “profound differences” between their viewpoints on various issues.

While Pence refrained from revealing his preferred candidate for the November election, he made it unequivocally clear that he would not support President Joe Biden. When questioned by Fox News host Martha MacCallum about his choice not to endorse Trump, Pence stated that it should not come as a surprise.

Pence criticized Trump for pursuing an agenda that contradicts the conservative principles they once shared during their time in office. Despite expressing pride in their administration’s achievements, Pence highlighted disagreements on issues such as the national deficit, abortion, and Trump’s handling of the TikTok ban.

A significant point of contention between the former allies was Trump’s pressure on Pence to reject the 2020 election results, which Pence argued endangered his family’s safety during the events of January 6, 2021. This incident strained their relationship, leading Pence to assert during his presidential campaign that Trump’s attempts to overturn the election outcome should disqualify him from future leadership.

In explaining his decision, Pence emphasized the importance of staying true to his principles and convictions, even if it meant parting ways with his former political partner. Despite their shared history, Pence’s refusal to endorse Trump marks a clear departure from their previous alliance.
