Former Vice President Mike Pence didn't shy away from taking shots at his former running mate on Friday. The presidential candidate hit former President Donald Trump on his stances on assistance in Ukraine, Social Security and Medicare reform, and abortion during an event in Georgia.
At conservative radio host Erick Erickson's The Gathering in Georgia, Pence called out Trump's position on reforming Social Security and Medicare, which face the risk of insolvency in the coming decades."My former running mate's policy is identical to [President] Joe Biden's. They won't even talk about it," he claimed.
Pence also criticized Trump and other 2024 GOP candidates for"wanting to pull back from American leadership, whether it be in Eastern Europe or confronting Iran or the balance on the national debt."Assisting Ukraine in its war against Russia has become a topic of disagreement within the Republican Party, and as Pence points out, several 2024 candidates have been hesitant to commit to continue providing financial aid and military supplies to the country.
Americans are relatively split on supporting Ukraine further, with over half, 55%, saying Congress shouldn't authorize additional Ukraine financial aid, per a recent CNN poll. Additionally, 51% believe the United States has done enough for Ukraine, and 48% say it hasn't done enough. Americans have trended toward supporting less assistance to Ukraine as the war continues.
