The advocacy group Republican Voters Against Trump announced a new six-figure campaign highlighting former Vice President Mike Pence‘s refusal to endorse former President Donald Trump in his 2024 campaign.
The 15-second digital ad is set to run in five battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while the billboard campaign will be featured in Phoenix, Atlanta, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Michigan, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee.
“This is someone who worked with Donald Trump all four years of his presidency. He saw Donald Trump up close and personal every single day,” said John Conway, the group’s director of strategy, in an interview with the Washington Examiner, “and his refusal to endorse Donald Trump should sound the alarm for other voters in the country that Donald Trump is unfit to be president again.”
The group is supported by the Republican Accountability PAC, which has opposed Trump’s bid for another four years in the White Office.
“Mike Pence knows Donald Trump better than anyone else, and he knows how dangerous a second Trump administration would be,” says a narrator in the ad before a clip shows Pence saying he won’t endorse his former running mate.
The former vice president announced last week that he could not support Trump, citing “profound differences” with his one-time boss. “It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” Pence told Fox News’s Martha MacCallum.
Pence remains the most prominent Republican not to back Trump after he became the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
“Mike Pence joins the ever-growing coalition of Republican Voters Against Trump,” said Gunner Ramer, political director of Republican Voters Against Trump, in a statement. “Pence served as Trump’s vice president for four years. But even he recognizes who Trump really is: A threat to our democracy who is unfit for office. Pence is putting country over party, and we are going to make sure persuadable voters are aware of his decision.”
Other prominent Republicans who have not endorsed him include former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Sen. Susan. Collins (R-ME), and former Secretary of Defense under Trump Mark Esper.
Republican Voters Against Trump announced a $50 million campaign against Trump last week, which will tout video testimonials from voters who previously backed Trump but have refused to support him again.
The ads will also be shown in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin with the hope of convincing enough centrists and independents away from the former president.
“Mike Pence is being courageous. He’s putting country over party. We wanted to make sure that voters across the country know that Mike Pence won’t be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” Conway said. “And so we’re elevating his voice, alongside the voices of everyday Republican voters from across the country who will be doing the same thing.”
Yes this is a new low for him. Off to the dustbin of history for you Mike.
Never underestimate the desire of us humans to be petty...can someone be *that* petty? They sure can. We’re all capable of it if we aren’t careful...and we can convince ourselves it is the moral and just thing.
Mike Pence stars in new anti-Trump GOP ad campaign
___________________________________________________
Saying that Pence “stars” in anything is far in excess of generous.
It is necessary for “non-partisans” (neither anti or necessarily pro Trump) in the GOP to ask Pence if he understands his actions can only work in favor of Biden and if he can be happy with that. If he can be happy with that, then he is not really anti-Trump as much as anti-GOP, because millions of voters vote top-down straight party line, and GOPers voting for Biden will elect Dims down ticket as well.
The people responsible are terrified that Donald Trump will be re elected and expose their misdeeds and hold them accountable.
And the people attacking the Trump the hardest are the ones who are the most guilty and have the most to lose if Trump becomes President
Once you realize this, everything else falls into place.
And if they did not have double standards they would have no standards at all.
This worthless p*ick can assume room temperature before the convention for all I care.
Pence is all butt hurt because his poll numbers were in negative territory during the primaries.
Pence like Chaney are has-beens politically. They are like bitter exes...worthless and useless.
The sooner the better!
There you go 🙂
A rino like pence is worse that a ratbag democrat.
Gutter trash.
He’s a fake Christian who puts other interests first.
Interesting that Pontius Pence has been resurrected by the deep state to foul Trump just when Obama is afraid he won’t get a fourth term. What dirt do they have on Pence?
Wouldn’t follow Pence into Hell. IOW, he’s not a leader. He’s at best a Milquetoast. Useless.
Well said.
A part of me thinks that Pence, like Romney and others, are very jealous of Trump. Hence, the hatred.
Might as well call themselves “Republicans for Biden.”
Yep, Judas Pence is all for the guy that renamed Easter to the Day of Queer/Freak Visibility.
OMG! I don’t understand. I thought Pence was a man of integrity. He obviously has none now. Doesn’t he care how he’s remembered?
