Former Vice President Mike Pence declared on Fox News that he will not be endorsing Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” Pence said.

“During my presidential campaign, I made it clear there were profound differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues. And not just our difference on my constitutional duties I exercised on January the 6th,” he continued.

WATCH:

“The traitor Mike Pence just announced that he won’t endorse Trump on Fox News. Do you still think the GOP wants Trump to win in 2024? Or are you starting to see things clearly?” Emerald Robinson questioned.

“It’s not shocking that Mike Pence won’t endorse Trump for President… Pence has hated Trump for years, and his former Press Secretary is a host on The View. I wouldn’t be shocked if all the Trump White House leaking was from Pence’s office,” Tim Young commented.

From POLITICO:

The former vice president ran against Trump for the Republican nomination this cycle but bowed out of the race months before voting began after failing to gain any traction with voters.

Pence becomes the most prominent Republican to date to say he will not back Trump in the 2024 election. Other Trump skeptics, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have announced that they will back the presumptive nominee.

Republican Sen. Todd Young, also from Pence’s home state of Indiana, has said he will not support Trump’s candidacy.

“Pence declined to say who he’d vote for on Nov. 5, but ruled out casting a ballot for Biden,” the New York Post noted.

The New York Post reports:

The former Indiana governor also dismissed the possibility that he would launch a third-party challenge, telling host Martha MacCallum: “I’m a Republican.”

The vast majority of House and Senate Republicans and GOP governors have endorsed Trump’s White House bid, as have several of his former GOP primary opponents — including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC)

Pence joins former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as ex-2024 candidates withholding their endorsement of Trump.
