United States: Trump-Pence, the potential battle of 2024?

Donald Trump returned to Washington on Tuesday for the first time since his tumultuous departure from the White House. He delivered a speech worthy of a campaigning candidate before the America First Policy Institute, a think tank run by his allies. A few hours apart, his former Vice President Mike Pence also spoke in Washington. “Two speeches given in two hotel ballrooms located within a mile of each other” who have “clearly displayed one of the most uncomfortable divisionsof the history of the Republican Party, according to the New York Times. “Two speeches in the form of a duel», title the wall street journalon the front page of which are displayed the faces of the two former running mateA taste of a potential battle in 2024“.

The Trump-Pence ticket tore on January 6», title the New York Times, during the attack on the Capitol. But Mike Pence said little about it. Tuesday morning, in front of the conservative students of the Young America’s Foundation, he especially lingered on the question of abortion, notes The duty in Canada. “If we save the babies, we save America“, he shouted. The former vice-president briefly mentioned the January 6 riot but, as the curator remarked washington timeshe did not dwell on his differences with Donald Trump.

On the applause meter, Pence loses

Yet this is the first question that the public asked him. “I don’t know if our movement is so divided“replied Mike Pence. “I don’t know if the president and I have such different points of view. We may have different goals. But I really believe that elections are about the future. And it’s absolutely critical, at a time when so many Americans are hurting, when so many families are struggling, that we don’t give in to the temptation to look back.“. In short, we must focus on winning Congress and then the White House, rather than fighting old battles. the FinancialTimes sees it “a thinly veiled plea for the party to break with Trump“. However, note the wall street journalMike Pence has frequently referred to “the Trump-Pence administration“. He has “focused his remarks on their joint political victories“, also notes the washington times. Trump didn’t mention it at all.

No direct confrontation with his former boss and, yet, Mike Pence seems to indicate that he is preparing for this battle, in particular by choosing to support candidates different from those of Trump in Georgia then in Arizona, underlines the FinancialTimes. For this newspaper, the role of Mike Pence during the Capitol siege on January 6, 2021 “could make him an ideal candidate to win over those who loved everything about Trump except his refusal to accept defeat“. But, as noted The duty, the former vice president seems to be struggling to win the support of Trumpists. the New York Times evokes “warm applause» and a clear «enthusiasm gapbetween the two men. The very conservative National Review nevertheless seems to have made his choice. He encourages Americans to choose between “the lies and narcissism that have misrepresented the ideology and great history of the conservative movement, either embrace hopeful politics“.
