In a recent interview with NBC News’ Ali Vitali, former Vice President Mike Pence voiced his opposition to former President Donald Trump’s prospective 2024 candidacy. He made it obvious that their rivalry has not abated despite their political divergence last year with harsh remarks. “I’m confident we’ll have better choices than my old running mate.”
“I think the times call for different leadership. I’m confident we’ll have better choices than my old running mate,” Pence, who is very unpopular, added.

The ex-vice president vehemently argued that President Trump lacks the decency and respect required to govern the country, pushing people to vote for someone else. “Want to see us and our politics return to the kind of civility and respect that Americans show one another every day.”
He continued by saying that he thought the GOP presidential race for 2024 will be won by a candidate with different language and leadership qualities than Trump. “I’m very confident that Republican primary voters are going to choose the right standard bearer for this moment in our nation’s history. Someone that can provide not only the policies in leadership but the style of leadership that will help bring our nation back,” Pence stated.
Pence did not rule out running for president in 2024 when asked whether he would. “I think by the spring our family expects to have a very clear sense of our calling.”

After the events of January 6, former Vice President Biden teamed up with left-leaning journalists to condemn President Trump and reiterate his position on certifying the results of the 2020 election. “The president’s words were reckless, and they endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol building. The president had decided to be a part of the problem. I was determined to be a part of the solution,” Pence said in November to the Associated Press.
After withdrawing from the presidential race, Donald Trump still has high public approval among Republicans. A recent Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted on February 16, 2021 of 1,465 registered Republican voters found that 43% of them made up his base, compared to 7% for Mike Pence. These data show that among Republican primary contenders for the 2024 election cycle, President Trump is remains popular even after leaving office.
