Mike Pence becomes the eighth qualifier for the first GOP debate. Despite the indictment and his refusal to succumb to Trump's pressure, Pence states that he does not believe Trump is fit to serve as president again.
Trump’s repeated attempts to pressure the former vice president, something that Pence ultimately rebuffed on Jan. 6, are key pieces of evidence in the indictment. The two men haven’t spoken since the summer of 2021.
In response, the thrice-indicted former president posted on his own social media website that “I feel badly” for Pence, who “is attracting no crowds.” Christie, an even more strident critic of Trump than Pence, has dismissed concerns around that, saying he’ll take the pledge as seriously as Trump is. Trump in 2016 repeatedly refused to say he’d support the Republican nominee if it wasn’t him, despite signing a similar pledge.
