Mr. Trump was the nation’s essential man, Mr. Pence long attested, and more than that, “a good man.” (He does not use that adjective anymore.)
Asked in the interview if he saw himself as an example to other Republicans who remain devoted to the former president, Mr. Pence did not say no.
“He doesn’t really have a unique selling proposition,” said Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker, who has both praised Mr. Pence for what he did on Jan. 6 and been accused of helping to perpetuate Mr. Trump’s election lies.
“In terms of John F. Kennedy’s ‘Profiles in Courage,’ I think that Pence is a very admirable person.
“Campaigns should be about something more important than the candidate’s election,” he said.
