WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Mike Pence said Friday that he would not endorse his former boss for president in the 2024 election.
Pence revealed the decision during an interview on Fox News. “I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” the Republican said.
Pence’s announcement came as Trump secured enough Republican delegates this week to clinch the party’s nomination.
Trump “is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda that we governed on during our four years,” said Pence.
“As I have watched his candidacy unfold, I’ve seen him walking away from our commitment to confronting the national debt,” Pence said. “I’ve seen him starting to shy away from a commitment to the sanctity of human life.”
