Former Vice President Mike Pence declined to say Thursday whether he would back Donald Trump if his former boss were to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024.
Pence, widely expected to seek the nomination himself, suggested that Trump's leadership style isn't what the party needs in the upcoming White House race.
Pence and Trump have been estranged since the violent storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, by Trump's supporters in an attempt to stop the congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden's victory. Pence, on his ninth trip to the early-voting state since leaving office, participated in a policing roundtable with officials in North Charleston. He planned to meet later with pastors in Greenville and host a talk about his latest book at Bob Jones University.
"The American people want us to return to the policies of the Trump-Pence administration, but I think they want to see leadership that reflects more of the character of the American people: namely the commitment to principle and the civility that Americans show each other every day," Pence said. "And so, if we enter the fray, we will offer that kind of leadership."
