Extra: Mike Pence on the Soul of the GOP & a 2028 Run

This week, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the US and Iran was signed by President Donald Trump after the G7 wrapped up at the Palace of Versailles. The agreement implements a 60-day ceasefire and creates a framework for further negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions and other outstanding issues. As more details emerged about the plan during the week, critics on both sides of the aisle accused the Trump administration of "appeasement" and giving Iran too much. One of those critics was a key member of the first Trump administration: former Vice President Mike Pence. The former Vice President joined the FOX News Rundown’s host Dave Anthony just hours before the President put his signature on the MOU to discuss his concerns about it. While he praised the President’s efforts to weaken the regime, he is worried that this deal gives Tehran the feeling that they were not defeated. Pence, who also wrote the new book, What Conservatives Believe: Rediscovering the Conservative Conscience, voiced his concerns about some in the Republican party who are straying away from the party’s core values. Finally, Pence discussed the possibility of running for President in 2028. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview today on The Fox News Rundown: Extra. Learn more about your ad choices.
