Pence says voters want new leadership [View all]
NEW YORK (AP) Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday that voters are looking for new leadership following the disappointing midterm elections for Republicans, who are now openly debating whether his onetime boss, Donald Trump, should maintain a leading role in the party.
In an interview with The Associated Press just hours after Trump announced another White House run, Pence declined to say whether he thinks the former president is fit to return to his old job. But he implicitly positioned himself as a potential alternative for Republicans seeking conservative leadership without the chaos of the Trump era.
I think we will have better choices in 2024, Pence said. Im very confident that Republican primary voters will choose wisely. He said that he and his family will gather over the holidays and well give prayerful consideration to what our role might be in the days ahead.
Asked whether he blamed Trump for this weeks Republican losses, he said, Certainly the presidents continued efforts to relitigate the last election played a role, but ... each individual candidate is responsible for their own campaign.
