Former Vice President Mike Pence admitted over the weekend that his campaign didn’t have what it takes to make it to the White House in 2024. After dropping out of the race, his former boss, Donald Trump, was already begging to get his endorsement. Of course, the two men reportedly don’t have the best relationship these days, thanks to the consequences of Jan. 6, 2021.

The frostiness between them wasn’t going to stop the former president from demanding that Pence remain loyal to his campaign. “Because I had a great successful presidency, and he was the vice president, he should endorse me,” Donald Trump said at a campaign event in Las Vegas on Saturday, via CNN. “I chose him, made him vice president. But … people in politics can be very disloyal. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Pence and Donald Trump got along for most of the four years together until the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. It was Pence’s duty to certify the election results even though Donald Trump was allegedly trying to pressure him to block the outcome. History (and Pence) doesn’t forget what Donald Trump posted on social media that fateful day: “[Pence] didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.”

Since then, Pence has treaded carefully not to draw the ire of Donald Trump because nobody wants to be on the receiving end of his Truth Social rants and raves. The harshest words he’s had toward his former boss stem from a 2022 ABC World News Tonight interview. “But I turned to my daughter, standing nearby, and I said, ‘It doesn’t take courage to break the law, it takes courage to uphold the law,’” Pence said. “The president’s words were reckless. It’s clear he decided to be part of the problem.”
The former vice president hasn’t signaled where he will land for the 2024 election, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see him align with Sen. Mitt Romney’s quest to find an alternative candidate to support. Donald Trump may be leading the Republican nomination race, but he isn’t everyone’s first choice.
