Pence's tenure as Vice President was the subject of much controversy among both liberals and conservatives alike. He was frequently accused of being involved in numerous subversive acts which undermined President Trump's agenda, especially on foreign policy. He also detracted from his own re-election ticket in 2020, avoided efforts to contest the 2020 election results in several states where irregularities were reported, and yet publicly attended [[Joe Biden]]'s inauguration.<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/534835-pence-other-gop-officials-expected-to-skip-trump-send-off</ref> Thirteen months later, Pence defended his actions at a [[Koch network]]-sponsored event. Given these events, it is a certainty that Trump will not select Pence as his running mate should Trump be the Republican nominee in 2024.

Pence is on the fringe of the [[GOP]] by opposing the nomination of Trump for president in 2024: “Well, there might be somebody else I’d prefer more,” Pence said in October 2022 during an event at [[Georgetown University]], when asked if he would support Trump as the nominee.
