Pence, Trump tensions rise, raising questions about a break

Mike Pence will be in the spotlight on Friday afternoon when the former vice president is expected to address ex-President Trump's most recent attacks on his handling of the 2020 election.

It's unclear exactly how far Pence will go, but tensions between Pence and Trump are on the rise as the 2024 campaign season edges closer and both men flirt with the possibility of running for the nation's highest office.

A preview of the Federalist Society event in Florida says that Pence "will deliver remarks about constitutional principles and the rule of law," but aides said Trump's comments about overturning the election will likely come up.

Pence was the consummate loyalist to Trump as vice president, but the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot has emerged as something of a breaking point as he charts his own path into 2024 and beyond.

Is the press barred from attending again?

His only future in politics is begging for Trump's forgiveness and admitting he failed Dear Leader. It's in his nature to jettison his life-long "Christian" values and worship the Golden Idol.

is a disease and I believe Pence is infected. He'll do what he thinks will help his candidacy, realistic or not.

a future in politics. Democrats will never vote for him and the MAGAts wanted to kill him. There are not enough sane repukes to save him. Even if Independents backed him, Putz is well and truly fucked, politically speaking. Dude should scuttle away in disgrace.
