A procession of prominent Republicans who wanted to guide their party away from Donald Trump in 2024 have come around to him as the former president became the party’s presumptive nominee. And many have offered virtually the same justification in grudgingly offering support: He’s at least preferable to President Biden.
“I think he’d be better than Joe Biden,” said Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. “It’s as simple as that.”
“I mean, the alternative is Biden,” said New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu.
“The choice before the American people is crystal clear: It’s Donald Trump or Joe Biden,” said Senate Minority Whip John Thune (S.D.).
Trump’s own vice president offered a very different take Friday. In declining to endorse Trump, Mike Pence made a major statement that undercut other Trump-skeptical Republicans who have suggested through their actions that there is no alternative. His decision could also provide a permission structure for others whose endorsements are up in the air, like Nikki Haley, to hold off.
“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” Pence said told Fox News on Friday.
But it did come as something of a surprise. Pence, after all, had raised his hand at an August debate when he and the other GOP presidential candidates were asked whether they would support even a criminally convicted Trump if he were nominated.

I’m not going to insult Pence, but the idea that his non-endorsement outweighs the other endorsements is ridiculous.
Pence can endorse Biden. He means nothing to president Trump. All he has made himself into is a dildo the democrats can use to poke the republicans. His problem is he is only 1/4 inch long. He is only a worthless little prick.
This weasel was also in charge of covid and hired Burx to destroy the nation.
As usual the Washington post is full of CRAP.
