The move has been widely seen as a blatant attack on the upcoming 2024 election as Trump is currently the dominating frontrunner against the mentally declining Biden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pence decided to weigh in with a thread of tweets on X, formerly Twitter, writing, \u201cToday&#8217;s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today&#39;s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States.<\/p>&mdash; Mike Pence (@Mike_Pence) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mike_Pence\/status\/1686529371685658625?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 2, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will have more to say about the government\u2019s case after reviewing the indictment,\u201d his next tweet read. \u201cThe former president is entitled to the presumption of innocence but with this indictment, his candidacy means more talk about January 6th and more distractions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In more follow-up tweets, Pence attempted to argue that Trump being taken out of the race is actually a positive as it allows for more attention to be \u201cpaid to Joe Biden\u2019s disastrous economic policy\u201d and \u201ccorruption with Hunter.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs your president, I will not yield an inch in defending America, our people, or our values, and I promise you: I will do so in a way consistent with my oath to the Constitution and the character and decency of the American people,\u201d his final tweet read. \u201cWe will restore a threshold of integrity and civility in public life so we can bring real solutions to the challenges plaguing our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To top off the tweet made by the former vice president, a user on X shared a document from the indictment showing that some evidence likely came directly from Pence himself.
