Former Vice President Mike Pence, who served under former President Donald Trump, said Friday he would not endorse the former president in the 2024 election.

The former vice president announced the news during an interview with Fox News host Martha MacCallum.

“It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year,” Pence said.

Pence said he was proud of the work the Trump administration did in their first term, but said there were ‘deep differences’ between him and the former president.

He cited Trump’s failure to address the national debt, distancing himself from pro-life issues and Trump’s opposition to a congressional bill banning TikTok as three reasons he would not support Trump.

‘In each of these cases, Donald Trump is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is at odds with the conservative agenda by which we governed.

Pence also cited his most famous disagreement with Trump over his decision to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election on Jan. 6.

“Given these profound differences,” Pence said. ‘I cannot in good conscience publicly support President Trump.’

Pence, who ran his own failed 2024 presidential campaign, said he would continue to travel the country talking about what Republicans should support.

‘What I need to spend the rest of the year is talking about what we should be for,’ he said. ‘The broad mainstream conservative agenda that has defined our party and always made America strong and prosperous and free.’

Pence declined to say who he would support in the 2024 election, but said he would not vote for President Joe Biden.

“I would never vote for Joe Biden, but how I vote when that curtain closes, that will be for me,” he said.

He indicated that he would not run as a third-party candidate either.

“I’m a Republican, Martha,” he said.
