Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : "More and more populists would deliberately erode norms of...time-honored principles to achieve their ends, even walking away from a commitment to limited government and free markets to achieve what they believe to be honorable ends," Pence added.
36% : The former vice president, whose relationship with Trump fell apart in the wake of the January 6 attack on the Capitol, said during his Colorado speech that he had called to congratulate the president-elect over his 2024 victory while also noting other Republicans had achieved "monumental victories" this year.
31% : During the campaign, he had used similar rhetoric, casting the 2024 election as a fight for the future of conservatism and, in September 2023, already calling on fellow Republicans to reject the "siren song of populism" associated with Trump.
27% : Our Constitution is more important than any one man's career," Pence posted on X, formerly Twitter, in August 2023, after Trump was federally indicted over his alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.
