Republicans have a record that Americans can see, showing that things can turn around under the right leadership as America experienced energy independence and a “booming” economy under the Trump/Pence administration, former Vice President Mike Pence said during an interview on Breitbart News Saturday, ultimately predicting a Republican takeover in Congress. Speaking on the show ten days ahead of Election Day, the former vice president reminded listeners that Republicans have been focused on the issues Americans care about, unlike Democrats. “Republicans and conservatives have been focusing on the issues the American people are focused on, which is the disastrous policy...

Former President Donald Trump’s embrace of American exceptionalism has brought forth upon this nation a patriotic rebirth of our founding principles that he will only diminish should he persist in his evident determination to run for reelection in 2024. Today we are engaged in a great and perhaps ultimate spiritual battle challenging the future of the Judeo-Christian principles so dear to our Founders. As John Adams warned, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Perhaps Mr. Trump’s most enduring contribution will be that he radicalized a...

Former Vice President Mike Pence called out his former boss by name on Friday, saying that "President (Donald) Trump is wrong" in claiming that Pence had the right to overturn the 2020 election on January 6, 2021. Speaking at the Federalist Society Florida Chapters conference near Orlando, Pence delivered his strongest response yet to Trump's ongoing efforts to relitigate the 2020 presidential election, calling it "un-American" to suggest one person could have decided the outcome. Pence warned against conservatives who continue to insist the vice president can alter an election, and said it could be a problematic position for Republicans...

Trump is keeping close tabs on his would-be rivals for the nomination — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former V.P. Mike Pence and former SecState Mike Pompeo in particular… What we’re hearing: Trump’s most likely opponent is Pence, who — I’m told — has no plans to defer to his former boss… Nikki Haley — the former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor, who’s often talked of as a potential 2024 candidate — has explicitly said she wouldn’t challenge Trump. Pence has notably not made any such declaration. And you know who’s noticed? Donald J. Trump.

The Washington Post reports that Mike Pence [is] gearing up for a possible run at the presidency in 2024. According to the Post, Pence’s friends and advisers say he’s likely to run for president, especially if Donald Trump doesn’t. Accordingly, Pence is “taking all the traditional steps to position himself for a. . .presidential bid.” He’s “hopscotching the country giving six-figure speeches, sitting down for interviews with friendly conservative media outlets, and hosting fundraisers for Republican causes.” One potential problem for Pence is that he refused, in his Senate role, to do Trump’s bidding when it came to blocking Joe...

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Monday that he has a “strong relationship” with former President Donald Trump and added that the two had sat down and “talked through” their differences in the days after the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol. “Look, you can’t spend almost five years in a political foxhole with somebody without developing a strong relationship,” Pence told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “And, you know, January 6 was a...

Pence slams Biden vaccine mandates: 'Unlike anything I have ever heard' © Getty Images Former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday slammed President Biden's recently announced coronavirus vaccine mandates in an interview on Fox News, saying Biden's announcement was "unlike anything I have ever heard from an American president." "To have the president of the United States say that he's been patient, but his patience is wearing thin, that's not how the American people expect to be spoken to by our elected leaders," Pence, who has been floated as a potential 2024 GOP presidential hopeful, told "Fox and Friends" in...

Former Vice President Mike Pence slammed the Biden administration and its efforts to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan on Tuesday, calling it a “foreign policy humiliation.” In an interview on “The Brian Kilmeade Show,” Pence recalled Biden’s decision to fully withdraw by Sept. 11, saying that decision set the “disaster in motion.” “I was in Washington, DC, on September 11, and the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, it’s a foreign policy humiliation unlike anything our country has endured since the Iran hostage crisis,” he said. “What you’re seeing in the Biden administration I think is just an effort to...

It’s a foreign-policy humiliation unlike anything our country has endured since the Iran hostage crisis. The likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country [of Afghanistan] is highly unlikely,” President Biden confidently proclaimed in July. “There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy.” One month later, the scenario Mr. Biden deemed impossible has become a horrifying reality. In recent days, the world has watched panicked civilians cling to U.S. military aircraft in a desperate attempt to escape the chaos unleashed by Mr. Biden’s reckless...

As more reports reveal the actions of former Vice President Mike Pence amid the violence of January 6, his purported heroism stands in contrast to many other high-profile Republicans, whose reputations are tarnished for how they acted about the Capitol riot. But the former vice president appears trapped in a political stalemate; too loyal to Donald Trump for those who stand firmly against the former president and not loyal enough for the MAGA diehards convinced, despite all the evidence, that Trump won the last election. Preceding the storming of the U.S. Capitol, Trump had pushed Pence to reject the electoral...

A new poll has shown again why former president Donald Trump is the undisputed king of the modern Republican Party.
