Former Vice President Mike Pence still won't say whether he's running for president next year, and he won't speak ill of his ex-boss, former President Donald Trump. But in an interview with CBS News in Michigan on Wednesday, he also twice declined to commit to supporting Trump if he is the Republican presidential nominee.
Instead, Pence said he believes voters in 2024 will choose "wisely again," as they did in 2016. But said he thinks "different times call for different leadership."
"I'm very confident we'll have better choices come 2024," he told CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns. "And I'm confident our standard-bearer will win the day in November of that year."

But so do I. And I hereby decline to commit to supporting Pence if he is the Republican presidential nominee.
I won't absolutely commit to NOT supporting him, but I'd sure be looking for an alternative.
Shouldn’t he already be banned from the debates then?
Reason #423 I call him Judas pence
Establishment hacks.
Oh, REALLY?
Not very sporting of you, Mike.
You might want to qualify, or add a caveat, to save yourself a way out of that stance, should circumstances change.
I’m with you brother.
“Pence won’t commit to supporting Trump if he’s the nominee”
Pence is too much of an airhead to realize that the above statement is a HUGE ENDORSEMENT of Trump.
WGAF what he does. He’s like the used newspaper on the bird cage floor. Wad it up, throw it away, and put new newspapers down. Then wash your hands thoroughly. IMO
Pence will never be the nominee. He doesn't need to worry.
At least the scumbag is consistent.
Pence might be if he runs for President. I think he’d be wise to run for the US Senate from Indiana, and his comment may indicate that’s what he’s thinking also.
Very true, ego my response. Thanks I needed the smile. Regards
Ergo. Sorry
Guess he won’t be at the debate then/sarc
OK, so I did check for duplicates before I wrote my post, but conservative98 was quicker on the draw than I was, and posted the same thing while I was still composing. Maybe send all future replies to that thread: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4134939/posts
Hell, he didn’t support him ever. So where is the news?
I don’t think Pence supporting Trump helps Trump. Pence can say whatever he wants but he pulls zero weight. I doubt Trump would invite Pence to any events and definitely not to speak.
I'm quite certain the sentiment is mutual.
Bet Trump paid him to say this.
