Mike Pence claimed that Trump is not upholding America’s global leadership, which the Biden campaign will likely use in its advertisements.
Pence stated on CBS’s Face The Nation that his decision not to support Trump was about more than January 6th:
The president and I have deep disagreements. Many people think it's only about January 6th, but in reality, the fact that the president continues to assert that I had the authority to overturn the election on that day is a fundamental difference.
I want to emphasize that I have forgiven the president in my heart for what occurred that day. As a Christian, I am obligated to do so. I have prayed for him in that respect. The issue of the constitution is significant, but it’s not only that.
I mean, the reason why I cannot support Donald Trump this year also relates to the fact that he is not just disregarding the constitution on that day, but also, Margaret, his commitment to fiscal responsibility, the sanctity of life, and American leadership globally. endorse Donald Trump this year also has to do with the fact that he is walking away not just from keeping faith with the constitution on that day, but also, Margaret, with a commitment to fiscal responsibility, a commitment to the sanctity of life, a commitment to American leadership in the world.
Pence also criticized Trump for shifting his stance on China and TikTok.

Mike Pence will not be endorsing President Biden. That is a certainty, but Pence knows exactly what he is doing. Trump’s abandoning America’s global leadership has been one of the main points of the Biden campaign.
The comments from the former vice president will be utilized in ads by President Biden, and other groups opposing Donald Trump throughout the campaign.
Trump’s former vice president himself says that he is neglecting America’s leadership globally. This is a compelling campaign ad waiting to happen, and Mike Pence just handed it to President Biden.
