(Video: Real America’s Voice)
The anti-MAGA wing of the Republican Party could turn to a familiar face to lead their fight against former president Donald J. Trump in 2024 and it may be the man who served under him during his historic four-year term in the White House.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, who has been increasingly critical of Trump after the two men had a public falling out after the 2020 election, traveled to Georgia where he held a rally for Governor Brian Kemp on the eve of the Peach State’s high-stakes Republican primary while the ex-POTUS, who has frequently lashed out at Kemp, held a dueling rally for former Senator David Perdue, his GOP challenger for the governorship.
During his rally in Cobb County, a part of the Atlanta metropolitan area, Pence said “When you say yes to Governor Brian Kemp tomorrow, you will send a deafening message all across America that the Republican Party is the party of the future,” a clear jab at Trump.
The fracture between the two Republicans is a result of Pence’s reluctance to challenge the Electoral College certification of the election on January 6, 2021, a day that has since become infamous with Trump continuing to contend that the election results didn’t pass the smell test.
During a call-in to Real America’s Voice’s “Outside the Beltway” on Monday, Trump took a shot at Pence.
“I’m very disappointed in Mike, as a lot of people are, and he just greatly disappointed me. He had a great opportunity, and all he had to do was send it back to the legislatures, let them decide because when you had all of that ammunition, when you had all of those things being said about the election, and you had all the proof Peter Navarro and many others were talking about, it would’ve been very easy to send it back and have them come back.”
“I’m very disappointed at the stance he took,” Trump said.
The former veep was also quoted by The New York Times as saying, “we’ll go where we’re called” when asked about the possibility that he could run against Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primary and that the devoutly religious Pence and his wife Karen would be guided by prayer.
“That’s the way Karen and I have always approached these things,” he said.
NEW: 💥
The rupture is complete
Pence tells me he’s open to running v Trump in ‘24 – will go “where we’re called” – and heads goes to Ga today to join ranks against Trump’s vengeance tour
Trump spox says Pence is “desperate to chase his lost relevance”https://t.co/iLfQN0eFvA

The NYT article also noted that “Pence then unsubtly visited the Charlottesville, Virginia, memorial to Heather Heyer, who was killed in the 2017 white supremacist riot there that Trump sought to rationalize by faulting “both sides,” a reference to the “very fine people” remark by Trump that has been endlessly repeated out of context by media and politicians, including President Joe Biden.
Martin reported that Trump’s team responded by claiming Pence “is desperate to chase his lost relevance.” Martin also laid the case for Pence vs. Trump in a series of tweets.
Pence has been targeting Trump over what many Repubs believe are the former prez’s worse impulses:
🥊1/6 (speeches hitting Trump by name)
🥊Charlottesville (Pence went to Heyer memorial)
🥊The ‘22 vengeance tour (today in Ga)— Jonathan Martin (@jmartNYT) May 23, 2022
Speaking explicitly about his role on 1/6, Pence told me
“I have been very moved traveling around the country how much people have made a point to express appreciation, it has been very humbling to me.”

For those keeping score, Pence and Trump haven’t spoken since *last summer*

The New York Times also quotes a statement from Trump through a spokesperson issued prior to Pence’s trip to Georgia to stump for Kemp.
“Mike Pence was set to lose a governor’s race in 2016 before he was plucked up and his political career was salvaged,” said Taylor Budowich. “Now, desperate to chase his lost relevance, Pence is parachuting into races, hoping someone is paying attention. The reality is, President Trump is already 82-3 with his endorsements, and there’s nothing stopping him from saving America in 2022 and beyond.”

Running as a DEMOcrat??
That’s why I say we have no hope for change except by force. This country has been taken over by corrupt politicians for over 45 years. Everyone one that in government from the past 45 years has baggage. They all need to be put on trial and investigated.i do home work …..https://www.workbz.com
LOVE TRUMP.
The most HONEST President in American history because he is a person first, politician far second.
Trump – DeSantis . If Trump no’s when to keep his mouth shut .
Like a snowball has a chance in hell with Nancy.
Yeah pence acts all high and mighty and some sort of man of GOD I CALL BS he’s a RINO he’s a Traitor and back stabbed so it only makes sense he supports Kemp they are in cahoots
Pence is the ultimate “christian” hypocrite. Anyone who votes for him will make satan smile.
Pence hasn’t got a Spine!! He had the authority to stop the election results (12th Amendment) when anyone brings to his attention that the results are suspect! He had the ability to order an investigation right then and there! To get along you go along. What a POS!!
Bingo ,! !
My exact feeling . He may have just slashed his throat not to plead the 12th.
He’s a fkn rhino people .
PENCE= ROMNEY.
Pence has NO FUTURE in politics! He shot himself in the head when he failed to support Trump. He’s DONE!
Maybe fkmike pence take fkjbidens place .
That would be a mess.
Hopefully neither will sacrifice the party and let the communist Left win. When the primaries are done, all Republican candidates must support the winner. No Perot bull sshit.
Pence will accomplish as much as Biden has
Mikey has proven himself to be a two-faced monkey and a deep swamp azz kisser and a Pelosi foot licker. Karma is gonna be a bitch. Only way for him to slightly redeem himself is to come clean and produce evidence on Piglousy and her hoard. Then he can vanish in disgrace.
Pence=JUDAS
Pence =Rhino Prick
Proof of election fraud now coming to light is deafening and the final nail in Mike Pence’s political career.
You asked for feedback. I absolutely hate your so-called “New Comment System.”
I am of the MAGA crowd and as such I would NEVER, EVER vote for Mike Pence for an office higher than local dog catcher.
PHUCKUR LOGGING IN — THIS IS HARRASSMENT AHOLES !!
It’s wonderful to be guided by Prayer, but you should listen to and adhere to what God says, when you do. Mike ignored God and did what the RINO party told him they wanted him to do. FMP
Pence does not stand a chance. DeSantis is the person who can give Trump a run for his money. People who vote in the GENERAL election would tilt Republican if DeSantis was the nominee. Trump for whatever reason keeps stepping on his message.
I think Mike Pence would be the PERFECT CANDIDATE…for DC Dog Catcher!
He screwed the nation! The Biden nightmare would never have happened, if he had done his job as VP!
I hope to see where Pence is selling used cars somewhere. Anywhere away from government!
Pence is just another RINO looking for attention
mike pence ended his political career when he accepted the fraudulent results of the last presidential election without any resistance or even reluctance. If he didn’t have a deep state membership card before that, he certainly earned it with that cowardly decision.
He’ll have to start all over again and it’ll have to be as a democrat. He’s of no use to anybody as a republican.
FMP, I don’t vote for Backstabbing Swamp Creatures.
