Former Vice President Mike Pence has remained steadfast in his decision to defy Donald Trump and certify the 2020 election, but at the same time is trying to fully embrace his legacy with Trump. In the latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza tries to dissect Pence’s tightrope walk to set up his political future for 2024.

Do you think Mike Pence will be a front-runner in 2024? -Chris
@gacj2010 The Truth getting out to the American People, But the evidence is so overwhelming with massive fraud! I wonder how MSM going to spin the truth when you know you’re caught?
You don’t know a thing about me or my friends and as far as knowing what is going on “behind the scenes” I know enough not to subject myself to your delusions.
@visionaire wear believe me…he has no career with the Democrats either.
This guy was bumping elbows with pelosi, he doesn’t stand a chance of running as a Republican… it’ll be Trump or DeSantis
As of now I would vote for him. I think he would be a great candidate but I do not think he will make it in the primarys unfortunately. If he does somehow become the republican nominee he would win IMO but I do not see him getting there.
Still can’t trust Pence.
Penney seems slimy even before he opens his stupid mouth!
Still can’t trust a Republican.
Still can’t trust Trump as well.
You can’t trust any RePUBElican.
Or his bütthółę
hiding from Trump and his supporters in the basement
“What, exactly, is Mike Pence doing?”
The correct answer is “Nobody cares.”
@Sharon Harris yes I’m definitely no scholar on communism socialism or Marxism but I am well versed in freedom and I know these three things take away our individuality stifle religion tell you when and where and how and that is not jubilee
@Sharon Harris I may not always know what I’m fighting against but I know what I’m fighting for
@Sharon Harris even though it appears we may have things to disagree on I would fight for your right to disagree with me and still pick you up if you were to fall
@Nobody Knows Guess you never got th word those cages were OBAMA’s cages … pics were dated by NYT and everyone saw it but I guess you .. 200,000 a month. Border patrol numbers … easy for anyone to access …. no numbers need to be pushed around .. Compare the same months 2021 to the same months for the last 2 decades.Close to 7000 a week. From 150 different countries …Who are these people … do you even care ? Why dont you care ? Do you just follow the line because you like a big D in front of your name. well I have a D in front of my name BUT I dont follow this line for my country
@J. Gaulke No Liz Cheney’s father was that war monger … Oh .. she too… Got big friends in businesses that make bullets
Pence is still under the delusion that he has a chance at 2024. He does not.
Biden does….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂☑☑☑NO

@Daniel Buman It’s crazy how youtube lets POS hackers like you get to post porn malware links, but yet I don’t even know how many dislikes a video has, lol.
@Samuel Otache Where do you think it started?
He doesn’t stand a chance. For the maga trumpers he is a traitor.
He could tell what he knows on Trump’s big lie and be useful.
pence going back to kiss trump’s behind after trump’s mob wanted him dead, is all you need to know about the guy. i can’t imagine anyone voting for him for anything
@Robert Daly 5 people died during that attack. FIVE PEOPLE. And not only that, it was treason. They attacked the government. Also I love how you said that Harris had ‘43%’ approval ratings and that she will ‘never beat trump’. You do realise Trump had below 30% approval ratings at the end of his term. You’re an idiot
Malcolm George hasnt done his history homework
Nobody wanted him dead

Show him the tape again of Trumps MAGAT’s yelling “HANG MIKE PENCE” and when they stormed the Capitol building “WHERE’S MIKE PENCE?”
I’d be telling Trump “Paybacks going to be a b*tch you orange COCKROACH”!!
As a “Christian” Evangelical, shouldn’t Pence ask himself the question: What would Christ do?
@Sky Driver didn’t the Pope say “It’s cool to be gay”?
@My Friend Think Why should @Martin Hover rethink his comment… is he going to suffer eternal torture for it? Pence seems to think HE speaks for christ… do you? Evangelicals say a TON of garbage things and their superhero christ said a lot of garbage things too. Like, ‘cut off your own hand if it offends you…” or “.. have NO CARE for tomorrow… ” The entire, ‘believe in me or I’ll burn you forever,’ ethos is nothing but patently outrageous extortion… yet evangelicals call it love. It’s believers in such primitive nonsense as human sacrifice and atonement who need to rethink their world view.
@Martijn Hover hahahaha! I needed that laugh this morning
@BubbaJones liberal, conservative, we’re all just people. This has nothing to do with liberalism or conservatism. It’s about what’s right. What’s moral.
“…But when they cried ‘LORD LORD’ – HE responded “I KNOW you NOT”
DON’T TRUST HIM PERIOD!!!
He has no idea he’s just twirling in circles.
@Clint Stephens as in Depends poster boy Biden?
@Rocket Eighty Seven Biden and Harris are the source of embarrassment for us all around the world. You simply have to read in a couple different languages. Heck, Aussies are having a field day with Biden’s idiocy, every day.

@reality
3 month old TROLL account.
Is that you William H?
To directly answer the video title,
He’s trying to figure out what exactly went wrong without having to confront the fact that he made bad choices.
Oh no! He could never be wrong or make mistakes! He thinks he’s perfect!
@☆♡¤SARAH¤♡☆ why are you talking about the old sniffer here?
https://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
I don’t know about the front he’s putting up, but from the Jan 6th footage, he’s certainly had experience running.
Pence HAS to say “Trump Trump Trump” to keep people from Booing him.
Poor Mike Pence
biden can’t even hold a rally or a press conference without pre rehearsed questions and answers. How are those gas, food and electric prices treating you since biden waddled into the WH? They are on a continuing climb. Yeah biden 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Not CNN tho
@M Hall
7 month old crybaby disinformation account. Keep posting fake Biden,
pro-Trump, bullcrap talking points.
@oltedders 👈. Hey look everyone it’s the you tube account patrol oltedders. A little history, Oltedders was the little tattletale in grade school that needed attention so he ratted on people to get it. It was the only way he could get the attention he needed. Some things never change. Maybe they will give you a big boy badge for your efforts oltedders. Good luck with that 👍🙄
He’s still trying to play it both ways. Cowed.
Yes
“A bold new course for America in the 21st Century.”
Yeah, the iceberg set a bold new course for the Titanic, too.
https://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
I get it, dark humor!
well the iceberg opened up a completely new dimension of direction of movement. the titanic discovered there are indeed 3 spatial dimensions
The only redeeming portion of his speech is where he tells people that the VP doesn’t have the constitutional authority to overturn electoral votes – that is not how the process works, and he knew it, whereas Trump and his cult followers did not.
pence is busy Feathering his own nest like he has done his whole career
The way he always said “mother” reminded me to much of Norman Bates.
@Blue Georgia I’d give you two likes if I could
Very much like copying his erstwhile boss! ha ha ha
The real reason Pence went on his endless coach surfing after leaving office: he knows he’s not getting reelected in Indiana, he was trying to figure out where he has a chance now that he’s lost MAGA vote…. well, lost Everyone’s vote.
“What exactly is Mike Pence doing?” Asked no one, ever.
I’m sure his wife has…especially while in bed.
https://youtu.be/qUAmAES-2o0
@Mark G. lol ironic considering you put a bribe taking racist and a dirty cop in the white house because they dont send mean tweets…but tell me more about how others are in a cult you kneepad wearing DNC puppet.
Did anyone ever care?
I care. And I’m not even american. Because he could tell that trump lied about the fraud and is a pathetic loser. Perhaps, all these trumpers all over the planet would shut up for a few hours.
He is a completely lost soul.
“What, exactly, is Mike Pence doing?”
Pence is shedding his skin 🐍
To Pence that means exfoliating with a high quality product, for the liberals it means “moulting”.
@You Tube Rubbing against trump’s a** is hardly exfoliating
@James B Yea, joe byeden is an expert at rubbing up against things. Just ask the girls we saw on CNN…
