Pence is back to attacking Trump again.
Former Vice President warns against rising taxes, defends Constitution, and calls for unity around time-tested American values
Though he’s no longer in public office, Mike Pence is making headlines—and making it clear: his commitment to conservative values hasn’t wavered. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the former vice president delivered a powerful message about the future of the Republican Party, America’s economy, and the need for constitutional integrity.
Fresh off receiving the JFK Profile in Courage Award, Pence reminded the country of what made the Trump-Pence administration so successful: a pro-growth economic agenda, strong border security, peace through strength, and unwavering support for traditional American values.
🛡️ “Stay the Course”: Pence Calls for Return to Proven Conservative Policies
“When you look at the Trump-Pence years, we governed with a true conservative agenda,” Pence said. “That’s what delivered results—lower taxes, fewer regulations, a booming economy, and peace abroad.”
He praised President Trump’s leadership for achieving a historic victory in 2024, securing the southern border, rebuilding the military, and standing firm against global threats like the Houthis in the Middle East.
But Pence didn’t shy away from voicing concern. He cautioned that some recent policy proposals—like a potential tax hike on high earners—represent a dangerous shift away from the formula that brought success to the Republican Party and the American people.
💰 “Don’t Raise Taxes on Small Businesses”
Pence strongly opposed suggestions of a so-called “millionaires’ tax” proposed by some Republicans. He warned it would amount to a devastating tax increase on small business owners, the backbone of the American economy.
“Let’s not repeat Democrat mistakes,” he said. “Let’s make the Trump-Pence tax cuts permanent and unleash American prosperity.”
This message resonates with older voters and business owners who remember the hardship of past tax-and-spend policies.
🇺🇸 Standing with Allies, Defending the Constitution
Pence, a long-time advocate for American leadership on the world stage, also called for continued support for key U.S. allies, particularly Ukraine. His firm stance received a standing ovation at the award ceremony.
But perhaps his most powerful message came when addressing constitutional fidelity in the face of speculation about President Trump possibly running again in 2028.
“Every leader—Republican or Democrat—must uphold the Constitution,” Pence said. “It’s the foundation of our republic.”
🗳️ Will Pence Run Again? He Leaves the Door Open
While his 2024 presidential bid didn’t gain traction, Pence says he’s keeping his options open. “That’s up to the American people,” he said, before reaffirming his commitment to be a voice for faith, family, and freedom.
🎖️ Courage in the Face of Chaos
Pence received the Profile in Courage Award for his actions on January 6, 2021, when he fulfilled his constitutional duty by certifying the election results despite intense political and personal pressure.
“By God’s grace, I did my duty,” he said to thunderous applause.
❤️ A Message to Older Americans
“I’ve been deeply humbled by the encouragement from Americans across the country,” Pence shared. “People remind me every day that whatever our differences, the Constitution unites us all.”
