Former Vice President Mike Pence has stated he will publicly challenge President Donald Trump if he believes Trump is not adhering to a conservative agenda. Pence made the remarks in a digital interview with Fox News Digital. He emphasized his dedication to maintaining core conservative values and principles.
"I will always stand up for what I believe is right," Pence said. "And if that means disagreeing with the former president, I won't hesitate to do so."
Pence's comments suggest a potential rift between the two Republican figures. While both previously worked closely together, their views have sometimes diverged, particularly after the January 6th Capitol attack. Pence's willingness to publicly challenge Trump could influence the direction of the Republican party and shape the upcoming political landscape. The former Vice President did not specify which potential policy shifts would trigger his response, but his statement makes it clear that he intends to remain an active voice in conservative politics.
