Mike Pence, the man who was booed last year at a conservative conference is now an in-demand surrogate for Republican candidates, including some who spent their primaries obsessively courting Donald Trump's endorsement, in part by parroting Trump's election lies.
By refusing to go along with the former U.S. president's unconstitutional push to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Pence became a leading target of Trump's wrath and a pariah in many Republican circles.
Pence has been traveling the country, holding events and raising millions for candidates and Republican groups, including signing fundraising solicitations for party committees. "He takes a little bit of the edge off Masters with a lot of voters," veteran GOP strategist Scott Reed said. "You know Masters is new to this, first time candidate, said some silly things he probably regrets during the campaign."
Trump said when he endorsed Masters in June: "Blake knows that the "Crime of the Century" took place, he will expose it and also, never let it happen again.""What I came here to Arizona to say is not only is Blake Masters the right choice for the United States Senate, the people of Arizona deserve to know Blake Masters may be the difference between a Democrat majority in the Senate and a Republican majority in the Senate," Pence said.
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 he has urged the party to do.
