Former Vice President Mike Pence strongly suggested he would rather his old boss, Donald Trump, not be the 2024 Republican nominee for president.
During an event Wednesday night hosted by the Georgetown Institute of Politics in Washington, D.C., Pence was asked if he would vote for Trump if he becomes the nominee.
"Well, there might be somebody else I’d prefer more," Pence said, prompting a wave of applause in the room.
"You know, what I can tell you is I have every confidence that the Republican Party is going to sort out leadership," he also said, according to CNN's Kaitlan Collins.
The reporter also shared that when asked about his own political ambitions, Pence said he and his wife, Karen, will “reflect at the right time, maybe in the months ahead, to determine what our calling is and to follow that calling, come what may.”
Trump, who won the 2016 presidential election with Pence as his running mate, lost his bid for reelection in 2020 to President Joe Biden.
