Former Vice President Mike Pence told Fox News’s Martha MacCallum on « The Story » that he wouldn’t endorse his former running mate, Donald Trump, for president.
“Donald Trump is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda that we governed on during our four years. That’s why I cannot in good conscience endorse Donald Trump in this campaign,” Pence said on Fox News.
« I’m incredibly proud of the record of our administration. It was a conservative record that made America more prosperous, more secure and saw conservatives appointed to our courts in a more peaceful world. »
Pence, as the presiding officer during the certification of electoral votes, believed he did not have the power under the Electoral Count Act of 1887 to return disputed electoral votes to the states. This forever angered Donald Trump and many of his supporters and made him an enemy of the former president.
« [We have] our differences on my constitutional duties that I exercised on January 6 [2021], » he said.
Mike Pence sees himself as a principled person, informed by a devout faith. During his short-lived run for president, he tried to highlight some of his differences with Trump while walking a very narrow line between criticism and loyalty.
