Former Vice President Mike Pence said that he will not be endorsing Donald Trump in the 2024 general election.
Pence made an appearance on Fox News on Friday, saying he “cannot in good conscience” support Trump as there are “profound differences” between their views on various issues.
Pence declined to reveal who he plans to vote for in November but did say he would “never” vote for President Joe Biden.
When asked who he plans to vote for in the general election, Pence said, “Like most Americans, I’m going to keep my vote to myself.”
“I would never vote for Joe Biden,” Pence said when asked if he would vote for Biden. “How I vote when that curtain closes, that will be for me.”
The former VP went on to say “It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” after he was asked by Fox News host Martha MacCallum on the issue.
Pence also slammed Trump for pursuing an agenda that is “at odds with the conservative agenda,” especially since it‘s an agenda different than what the two abided by during their administration.
“Look, I’m incredibly proud of the record of our administration,” Pence said. “It was a conservative record that made America more prosperous, more secure and saw conservatives appointed to our courts in a more peaceful world.”
“That being said, during my presidential campaign, I made it clear there were profound differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues, not just our difference on my constitutional duties that I exercised on Jan. 6,” Pence added.
Pence said Trump’s stance on the national deficit, his position on abortion and most recently his reversal on the TikTok ban are among his reasons for not endorsing his former running mate, in addition to what unfolded on Jan. 6, 2021, ABC News reported.
Pence dismissed the idea of backing a third-party candidate, as well as the idea of himself running as a third-party candidate, saying “I’m a Republican.”
“I’m a Republican,” he said.
