Former Vice President Mike Pence praised former President Donald Trump during a meeting with congressional Republicans this week, according to one of the lawmakers present.
“He spoke very favorably about his relationship with President Trump,” Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) told CNN. “I got the sense they speak often and maintain the same personal friendship and relationship now that they have for four years.”
Banks said a group from his Republican Study Committee convened with Pence in the Washington region at the fellow Indianan’s transition office. They discussed the way forward for the party.
It has to be with Donald Trump, and perhaps Mike Pence understands that.
Banks believes Pence will have a more public presence in the coming months.
“He’ll be launching an organization defending the successful Trump-Pence record of the last four years,” Banks said.
The former vice president has spoken to Trump in recent weeks, a former aide said last week, The Epoch Times reported.
This weekend, Mike Pence’s former chief of staff Marc Short also addressed the issue.
“Despite their differences, the reality is that they’ve had multiple conversations before [they] departed. The president thanked the vice president for his service, told him he did a great job, and they’ve even had conservations since then, including even this week,” Short said in an interview on Fox News.
Trump “thanked” the vice president and told him he did a “great job” while in office, he continued.
When asked if Trump and Pence had “mended fences,” Short replied, “I think so.”
The Party is Donald Trump. Mitch McConnell isn’t a leader. He’s a typical politician.
There are some good possibilities out there for the future like Ron DeSantis but he’s not on the radar yet.

We won’t be fooled by another calculated move by Pence. He is thick on rhetoric and awful on action. He betrayed us. He blamed Trump for an “insurrection”. Pence is reacting to polls. Pence wants to appease Trump so Pence can be the preferred candidate for 2024. At a minimum, all of these betrayers have lost several percent of republican voters permanently, so have no chance of higher office.
Pence’s mannerisms are obviously artificial, I never trusted him, after what he did with that bathroom bill in Indiana. He took a conservative position, then governed from the left on that issue. He had no reason to do that in a state like Indiana.
Take the duplicate letters out of McConnell and you’ll find the Head Stooge: Moe
It was Mark Short who was behind the Pence decision of January 6th. He isn’t to be trusted.
Comrade kommissar Pence (D-State) is worried about his political future?
His wife Karen pulls the puppet strings.
The Pence mini-me runs Indiana now and keeps the replacement floodgates open for the CPUSA.
Only 18 “republican” governors allow fundamental transformation future lifetime democrat voter resettlement but that may have changed with the woke hysteria under Xi Obiden.
If that is true I’m losing faith in Trump. He must not trust the same people who stabbed him and us n the back
Your right T.A. Pence is “ONLY” on President Trumps side when it “BENEFITS” Pence. The rest of the time Pence works against President Trump and the American people. Pence showed his true colors on Jan 6th, he’s nothing more than just another Pelosi puppet, establishment/status quo Rhino. Pence is trying to “make nice to President Trump because he wants President Trumps support for his 2024 campaign for POTUS! President Trump seriously needs to get smarter about who he trust. Damn near “everyone” that was close to him while he was in office has betrayed him.
