Pence's Breakup with Trump: A Conservative Divide
March 18, 2024, 9:34 am
Former Vice President Mike Pence made it crystal clear - he won't be endorsing Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential race. In a bold move, Pence declared that Trump's agenda clashes with the conservative values they once shared. The rift between the two deepened after Pence stood firm in certifying the 2020 election results, a move that irked Trump to no end. Pence's refusal to back Trump is a stark reversal from his earlier pledge to support him, even if he faced conviction. The former VP highlighted stark differences on key issues, from the national debt to the sanctity of human life. Pence's stance on TikTok and Trump's flip-flopping further fueled the divide. While Pence remains tight-lipped on his November vote, one thing is clear - it won't be for President Biden. The Trump-Pence saga took a dark turn during the Capitol attacks, with chants of "Hang Mike Pence" ringing out. Trump's push for Pence's endorsement fell flat, as the stage is set for a high-stakes rematch between the two political heavyweights.
