Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday refused to say whether if elected president in 2024 he would pardon former President Donald Trump should he be convicted of a crime.

“I’m not sure I’m going to be elected president of the United States. I believe we have a fighting chance. I really believe we do,” he demurred. When Bash pressed Pence on a potential Trump pardon, the former vice president quipped, “You’re as persistent as ever. CNN is living up to its reputation.”

Earlier in the town hall, Pence expressed his “hope” that the federal grand jury hearing evidence against Trump in the classified document case decides against indicting the former president, arguing that it would be a “drastic and divisive step.”
