The speech hinted at a platform for a presidential campaign, which Pence may pursue in 2024. Pence made an oblique reference to Trump, who has continued to argue falsely that the 2020 election was stolen, in his remarks. "I don't know that the President and I differ on issues, but we may differ on focus," Pence said. "President Trump sees a nation in decline that is driven, in part, by rising crime and communities becoming less safe under Democrat policies," Budowich told CNN. Tuesday's speech is the latest example of Pence contrasting himself with Trump as the midterms and the 2024 presidential election loom.
