The former vice president said he believes President Trump has turned away from some of the conservative principles his administration supported.

Former Vice President Mike Pence said during a March 15 interview that he would not be endorsing former President Donald Trump in the 2024 general election.

โ€œIt should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,โ€ said Mr. Pence during an interview on Fox News on Friday.

The former vice president was President Trumpโ€™s running mate in 2016 and 2020 before running his own unsuccessful campaign for president in the 2024 election. He suspended his campaign in October 2023 after he failed to gain significant traction.

โ€œLook, Iโ€™m incredibly proud of the record of our administration,โ€ Mr. Pence went on during the interview. โ€œIt was a conservative record that made America more prosperous, more secure, and saw conservatives appointed to our courts and a more peaceful world. But that being said, during my presidential campaign, I made it clear that there were profound differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues.โ€

The former vice president went on to say that he believes President Trump has turned away from some of the tenants his administration supported, including lowering the national debt, sufficiently supporting the sanctity of life, and his tough-on-China policies that would force a sale of the social media app TikTok.

โ€œIn each of these cases, Donald Trump is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda that we governed on during our four years,โ€ Mr. Pence said. โ€œAnd thatโ€™s why I cannot in good conscience endorse Donald Trump in this campaign.โ€

It is expected that President Trump will be the Republican nominee for the election to take place in November, which would result in a rematch with President Joe Biden.

Over the past three years, Mr. Pence has consistently stated that he did not possess the ability to reject the results of the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021, despite pressure put on him to do so.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, who both dropped out of the Republican presidential primary, are among the former candidates who have not yet endorsed President Trump.
