The former VP becomes one of a handful of top GOP leaders to decline to fall in line.
“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” Pence told Fox host Martha MacCallum, saying he “could not in good conscience support” the campaign. Pence’s refusal comes as the GOP has largely closed ranks behind the presumptive nominee, who currently faces 88 charges across four criminal cases and crippling civil penalties in his business fraud case.
That included former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who dropped out of the race earlier this month without endorsing Trump. In the Friday interview, Pence attributed his refusal to endorse to “profound differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues, and not just our difference on my constitutional duties that I exercised on January the 6th,” when Pence rebuffed Trump’s calls to refuse to certify Joe Biden’s victory.
