Former Vice President Mike Pence says he is more confident after the first GOP primary debate that former President Trump will not be the 2024 Republican nominee.
CBS’s Nancy Cordes, guest hosting “Face the Nation,” asked the former vice president why he signed the Republican National Committee (RNC) pledge vowing to support the GOP nominee, even if it means supporting former President Trump. Pence said that he does not expect Trump will be the nominee, noting that he signed the pledge to oppose President Biden.
“Well, look, I signed a pledge to be on that stage to say that I support the Republican nominee,” Pence said Sunday. “I remain confident, more confident after Wednesday night, that the Republican nominee will not be the former president, that we’re going to give the American people a standard-bearer for the GOP that’s going to be able to lead us to victory against Joe Biden and the radical left.”
