Mike Pence ‘respects the right’ of fellow Republicans who plan to vote for Trump

Former vice-president said on Friday he would not endorse former president, but declined to rule out eventually voting for him

Two days after saying he would not endorse a second Donald Trump presidency, former vice-president Mike Pence on Sunday declared his esteem for fellow Republicans who plan to vote for his former boss anyway - and he declined to rule out eventually following suit.

Pence reiterated on CBS's Face the Nation that he cannot in good conscience endorse Donald Trump" in November's election for a number of policy-related decisions that he insisted were not personal between him and the former president whose supporters chanted for Pence to be hanged publicly as they attacked the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.
