“Elections are about the future, and frankly the opposition would love nothing more for conservatives to talk about the past or to talk of the mess they’ve made of the president,” Pence said on a Wednesday afternoon conference call with POLITICO and several other news outlets, where he previewed his policy agenda.
“And I think by relentlessly focusing on the future we can stop the radical left, we can turn this country around, we can win the Congress and state houses back in 2022, and we can win back America in 2024 and beyond,” he added.
Pence’s agenda does include a section on election reform, in which he calls for mandatory voter identification, a prohibition on in-person voting more than 10 days before an election and says mail-in voting should be “rare.” But it makes no mention of the 2020 race.
His platform also takes a stand against Russian President Vladimir Putin, who Trump recently described as a “genius.” It says that “Russia harms American interests by threatening American allies,” and that “Putin undermines freedom and democracy at home and abroad.”
