The former VP avoided the subject of Trump, except to praise administration policies, in an Arizona swing pitting them against each other.
Former Vice President Mike Pence speaks to a crowd of supporters at the University Club of Chicago on June 20, 2022 in Chicago, Ill. | Jim Vondruska/Getty ImagesPEORIA, Ariz. — A room full of establishment-minded Republicans greeted Mike Pence here on Friday, many of them still chilled by the Jan. 6 committee’s revelations the previous evening about how close Pence and his security detail came to catastrophe during the riot at the Capitol in 2021.
Yet what was laid bare more than anything in Arizona was just how lopsided that battle remains — and how hesitant the former vice president remains to break with his one-time patron in word even as he does so in deed. Speaking at a tactical gear manufacturing company, Pence instead cast Robson as a champion of conservative policies, promising that she would replicate in Arizona the accomplishments of “all four years of the Trump-Pence administration.”
It was only recently that Robson, with the personal wealth to swamp the airwaves in Arizona, chased down Lake, the early frontrunner in the primary,. Robson’s campaign has benefited, as well, from the withdrawal of a third candidate: former Rep. Matt Salmon, who endorsed Robson. The GOP primary is widely considered a toss-up now, and the general election is expected to be competitive.
There are signs that there is at least some of that kind of enthusiasm surrounding Pence. Since he left the vice presidency, he has been well received by party activists at events in the early nominating states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Earlier this week in Washington, somefor his resistance to Trump’s effort to overturn the election.
