Former Vice President Mike Pence suggested Wednesday he might not vote for Donald Trump if his ex-boss were to run for president in 2024. When Pence was questioned about the issue at a Georgetown University event, he gave a long pause. “Well, there might be somebody else I’d prefer more,” he said.

Trump has not formally announced a presidential bid for 2024, but he has strongly hinted he might run. Pence is also considering a run, according to several of his confidants. Pence had a falling out with the former president after a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump had repeatedly criticized Pence for refusing to use his ceremonial role in presiding over the electoral count to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 win.

Fired up by Trump’s attacks, rioters chanted “Hang Mike Pence” as they rampaged through the Capitol wielding flagpoles and other weapons. Pence and congressional leaders had to be whisked to safety before resuming the certification once the building was secured.
