Former Vice President Mike Pence attacked the president under whom he served, Donald Trump, for his role in the 2021 attack on the Capitol. "Trump asked me to choose him or the Constitution.
I chose the Constitution," Pence said in his strongest criticism yet. Pence is one of more than a dozen candidates vying for the party's nomination in the November 2024 election. According to one poll, he has only 5% support, while Trump leads safely with 44%. The former president's most significant opponent is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, but the latter has lost ground.
