<p>Pence has fallen on Donald Trump's wrong side ever since he refused to support his effort to overturn the 2020 election results. During an event at Georgetown University in October this year, when asked whether he would support Trump in the 2024 elections, Pence said, "There might be somebody else I prefer more."</p>
