Speaking at conservative radio host Erick\u200c Erickson&#8217;s The Gathering, Pence highlighted Trump&#8217;s positions on various issues, including assistance in Ukraine, Social Security and Medicare reform, and abortion.<\/p>\n<h3>Addressing Social Security and Medicare Reform<\/h3>\n<p>Pence\u200c called out Trump&#8217;s stance on reforming\u2062 Social Security and Medicare, pointing out\u200b that \u2064both programs \u2062face the \u200brisk of insolvency in the future. He emphasized that Trump&#8217;s policy aligns with President Joe Biden&#8217;s, and \u200cexpressed concern that neither of them are willing to discuss \u200cthe issue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are other people on the\u200d debate stage who believe that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bernie-sanders-says-we-can-start-negotiating-tomorrow-on-debt-blames-gop-for-impasse\/\" title=\"Bernie Sanders Says \u2018We Can Start Negotiating Tomorrow\u2019 on Debt, Blames GOP for Impasse\">reforming government spending<\/a> is someone else&#8217;s problem, not theirs,&#8221;\u2063 Pence stated.<\/p>\n<h3>Criticizing GOP Candidates&#8217; Approach \u2064to American \u200bLeadership<\/h3>\n<p>Pence also\u2063 criticized Trump and other \u200c2024 GOP candidates for\u2063 their approach to American leadership. He expressed his \u200ccommitment to\u2062 growth and fiscal responsibility, contrasting \u200bit with\u200b their \u200ddesire to pull back from American leadership in various areas,\u200b such as Eastern Europe, confronting Iran, and managing the national\u200c debt.<\/p>\n<h3>Assistance to Ukraine and Republican Party Disagreements<\/h3>\n<p>Pence highlighted the disagreement\u2062 within the Republican\u2063 Party\u2063 regarding assistance to\u200d Ukraine\u200c in its war\u2063 against Russia. He\u200c pointed out that several 2024\u2062 candidates have been hesitant to commit to\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mike-pence-hits-trump-on-entitlements-ukraine-and-abortion-in-georgia\/\" title=\"Pence criticizes Trump on entitlements, Ukraine, and abortion in Georgia.\">providing continued \u200dfinancial aid<\/a> and military supplies to the country.\u2062 Pence referenced\u2063 Trump&#8217;s statement about giving \u2063away\u200b equipment and the need for ammunition for\u2063 the United States.<\/p>\n<p>However, Pence also acknowledged \u2064Trump&#8217;s pledge to end \u200cthe war between \u2062Russia \u2064and Ukraine within 24 hours\u2062 if \u200breelected. \u2064Trump believes \u200cthat Russian President Vladimir \u200dPutin would not have \u200cinvaded Ukraine if he \u200dwere still in office.<\/p>\n<p>A recent CNN poll shows that Americans are divided on supporting further aid to Ukraine, with 55% saying Congress should not authorize additional financial\u2064 assistance.\u200c Additionally, 51% believe the United States\u2064 has done\u200b enough for Ukraine, while 48% think more should be done. Public \u2063opinion has shifted towards supporting\u2063 less assistance as the war continues.<\/p>\n<h3>Abortion and \u200cPence&#8217;s Critique<\/h3>\n<p>Pence also addressed\u200b the topic of abortion, expressing concern about some candidates, including his former running mate, shying away from the cause of life and relegating it solely to a \u2064state issue. He noted that \u200cTrump has not committed to signing a\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-gov-abbott-pushes-back-against-bidens-climate-agenda\/\" title=\"Texas Gov.

Anthony Pro-Life America group.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2064 has been vague when questioned about his\u2062 abortion \u200bpolicy, stating\u2062 that his administration is considering various options. \u2064However, \u200cunder pressure from\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/major-abortion-groups-assemble-file-lawsuit-over-unthinkable-texas-law-allowing-americans-to-sue-abortion-clinics-doctors\/\" title=\"Major Abortion Groups Assemble, File Lawsuit Over \u2018Unthinkable\u2019 Texas Law Allowing Americans To Sue Abortion Clinics, Doctors\">anti-abortion advocates<\/a>, he acknowledged in\u200c June\u200d that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/better-than-expected-u-s-economy-added-638000-jobs-in-october-unemployment-dropped-to-6-9\/\" title=\"Better Than Expected: U.S. Economy Added 638,000 Jobs in October, Unemployment Dropped to 6.9%\">federal government<\/a> has a &#8220;vital role&#8221; in opposing \u200dabortion.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s\u2062 campaign did\u2063 not \u2062respond\u200b to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click \u200dhere<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Vice President Mike Pence openly criticized his ex-running mate, Donald Trump, at a recent event in Georgia.
