The Hill reported that former Vice President Mike Pence is leaving the door open to a 2028 presidential bid. The report, written by Tara Suter, said Pence, who was President Trump's second-in-command during his first term, was asked in a video interview with Fox News Digital published Thursday whether he was thinking about a presidential run and about a "timeline" for any decision. The summary of The Hill's report ends before it states what Pence said in response.
Fox News, in a separate report, said Pence has heard from people across the country about a 2028 presidential bid and warned that the GOP must return to conservative principles, according to its summary of the article. The headline of that report ties the warning to the midterm elections.
The two accounts emphasize different points. The Hill's summary centers on the open door and the question of timing, while Fox News's summary centers on the calls Pence has received and his message to Republicans. Neither summary says whether Pence has decided to run or when he might decide. The Fox News summary also does not say when the conversations it describes took place.
The full text of neither article was available for this report, so details beyond the headlines and summaries are not included. Neither summary provides a direct quotation of Pence's words, and where the two accounts leave gaps, this report does not fill them.
