Aide On Pence Backing Trump: Don’t Hold Your Breath

The Hill reports:

Marc Short, once the chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence, said Thursday that Pence isn’t likely to endorse President Trump for the 2024 election.

“I don’t think President Trump should be holding his breath for that,” Short said of an endorsement, in an appearance on The Hill on NewsNation. “I certainly would not anticipate any endorsement of him anytime soon.”

Short, who remains a close ally of Pence, has consistently criticized Trump over his handling of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, as Pence has. He said the issue is “more than personal” for Pence, who has been at the receiving end of harsh criticism from his former running mate since the pair left the White House in 2021.
