Former Vice President Mike Pence avoids confirming his support for former President Donald Trump as the GOP's presidential nominee in an interview on CNN's State of the Union. Pence expresses confidence in supporting the Republican nominee, particularly if it's himself.

When host Dana Bash questioned if Pence would rule out voting for Trump, Pence replied,"Dana, I tell you, I don’t think we’ll have to make that decision."

"I’m confident I’ll be able to support the Republican nominee, especially if it’s me,” Pence continued during his interview with Bash. “I will tell you, I’m confident as they've done so many times before. Republican primary voters are going to choose new leadership for a new time in the life of our nation. We simply have got to move our country forward.”

"President Trump was wrong then, and he's wrong now. I had no right to overturn the election," Pence told Bash."I truly do believe that we kept our oath to the Constitution that day. But the American people deserve to know that President Trump asked me to put him over my oath to the Constitution, but I kept my oath, and I always will."
