Pence, who was Indiana governor and a US congressman before becoming vice president, announced his campaign in early June.
Pence’s role as vice president was ceremonial in overseeing the process, but Trump and his supporters still felt Pence could intervene.
While stumping for president, Pence was sometimes thanked for his service in the administration, his devotion to his Christian faith or for his actions on January 6.
But the admiration for the former vice president did not translate to support in the polls.
He previously shot down the idea of being a vice presidential nominee again, saying that running twice for the position was enough.
