However,\u2064 Trump&#8217;s name\u2062 didn&#8217;t come up much in their conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Trump \u2064has had ongoing feuds\u200b with both Pence \u2063and Reynolds over\u200d their loyalty.

He&#8217;s talking to voters. He&#8217;s listening to voters. \u2063He&#8217;s \u200ctalking about his vision, and that&#8217;s a really good thing \u200cto do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During their chat, Pence subtly referred to \u200dthe indictment at \u200bthe end of their discussion. &#8220;I \u2063was always loyal to President Donald Trump until \u2062the day came that my oath to\u2064 the\u200b Constitution\u2062 required me to do otherwise,&#8221; Pence said. &#8220;But\u2064 I&#8217;ll\u2064 always be proud of \u200cthe record of the Trump-Pence\u200c administration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Trump declined Reynolds&#8217;s invitation to participate in her &#8220;Fair-Side Chats,&#8221; despite most other 2024 rivals agreeing \u2064to speak with \u200bthe governor.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Pence has intensified his \u2062criticisms\u2062 of \u2063Trump following the \u200dindictment.

While Pence spoke at the\u2063 Des Moines Register\u200c political soapbox, calling for new GOP leadership, Trump vented on \u200bTruth Social. He wrote,\u200d &#8220;I never asked Mike Pence to &#8216;disregard the Constitution.&#8217; Nor did I tell him\u2064 that \u2063he \u2064was &#8216;too honest.&#8217;\u2063 He is under great pressure\u2062 and getting very bad advice from Marc\u200b &#8216;Long&#8217; and perhaps some of his \u200cother advisers.\u200d His \u2064poll numbers\u200c have just gone \u2062down\u2064 from an already anemic level. Liddle\u2019\u200c Mike now wants to be \u2064a tough guy. He could have had greatness, but chose another \u2063path!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although Pence \u200bdidn&#8217;t directly\u200c address Trump&#8217;s \u2064post during\u2063 his chat with Reynolds, \u200dhe did offer a\u200b subtle critique. &#8220;I&#8217;m running because \u2062I \u2063think\u2064 this\u2064 is no time for\u200d on-the-job \u200dtraining;\u2062 challenges America is facing in the world are profound,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And we need leadership that can appeal to the better angels \u200bof our nature.
