Mike Pence will not commit to supporting Donald Trump in the future.
Pence reiterated he belives that the GOP will “have better choices” than Trump.
The Washington Examiner reported:
Former Vice President Mike Pence demurred when asked about whether he could bring himself to back former President Donald Trump in the future.
Reiterating his long-standing belief that the GOP will “have better choices” than Trump in the 2024 cycle, Pence once again declined to commit to supporting his former boss. Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee appears poised to require GOP candidates to attest that they will back the eventual nominee in order to be eligible for the debates.
“I think that’s yet to be seen, Jon. I must tell you that I think we’ll have better choices,” Pence told ABC’s This Week. “I think the American people long for leadership at the highest level that’s focused on the issues that are affecting their lives. And also, I think they longed for leadership that will keep faith with our highest traditions, including the foundation of the Constitution.”

“I was angry that day. And while I believe in forgiveness, I’ve been working hard at that for a while. The President let me down that day. He let the country down that day,” Pence said. “I’m looking forward and focused on whatever role we might play in helping to turn this country around.”
Republican voters disagree.
Trump is expanding his lead in the GOP primary.
Donald Trump is extending his lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who will likely start as the former president’s top competitor in the 2024 Republican presidential primary if he runs, according to a poll of a potential GOP field released Wednesday.
Quinnipiac University’s latest survey of Republican and Republican-leaning voters found Trump winning 46% of support in a hypothetical GOP primary field, with DeSantis receiving 32%.
That’s a welcome change for Trump, who held just a 6-percentage-point lead over DeSantis in Quinnipiac’s February poll of the prospective primary field. The ex-president led his possible rival by a 42% to 36% margin at the time.
Asked in the new poll who they would support in a head-to-head matchup between Trump and DeSantis, 51% of respondents chose the former president, versus 40% who picked the governor.
