Here’s an excerpt from the Business Insider report:
Former Vice President Mike Pence said he had not spoken to former President Donald Trump since last summer, revealing the extent of the rift between the pair since the Capitol riot.
When asked by Fox News’ Jesse Watters on Thursday when he last spoke to Trump, Pence said: “You know, we talked last summer. And you know I’ve said many times, it was difficult, January 6 was difficult. It was a tragic day in the life of the nation.”
He continued: “I know I did my duty under the constitution of the United States, but the president and I sat down in the days that followed that, we spoke about it, talked through it, we parted amicably.”
Since leaving the White House, Pence, a former Indiana lawmaker, has been rumored to be mulling his own run for the presidency in 2024, though he hasn’t confirmed that speculation.
In 2021, Pence — who was a conservative radio host before he got into politics — launched a podcast covering issues familiar to Republican voters and announced plans to release an autobiography in 2023, part of a two-book deal with Simon & Schuster.
