The final weeks of this year’s midterm elections suggest the former vice president’s fortunes have shifted as he lays the groundwork for a potential 2024 White House campaign
In Donald Trump’s assessment, Mike Pence “committed political suicide” on Jan. 6, 2021.
The endorsements can seem jarring given that Pence has spent much of the past year pushing back on Trump’s election lies, which spurred the violent mob that descended on the Capitol on Jan. 6 while Pence was trying to preside over the formal congressional certification of Joe Biden’s election victory. Pence and members of his family had to be rushed to safety and were held for hours in an underground loading dock as the marauders roamed the building’s hallways.
Marc Short, a longtime Pence adviser, declined to set a red line for candidates Pence would and would not endorse. Short said Pence was happy to support candidates who had moved past 2020, as the former vice president has urged the party to do. “I think it’s certainly a nod to more mainstream kind of moderate Republicans. I think that’s a fair assessment,” he said.
Beyond his endorsements, Pence has spent his time since leaving office performing a careful balancing act. He has distanced himself from Trump’s most corrosive statements while promoting what he calls the Trump-Pence agenda. Pence, like generations of could-be candidates, has used the primaries as an opportunity to forge new relationships and build goodwill, and continues to align himself with conservative causes. His trips often include college visits and speeches before anti-abortion groups.
