Former Vice President Mike Pence doesn't expect to attempt a grand political comeback and likely won't ever run for the White House again, he said in an interview that aired on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.
"I don't see that in my future," the former Indiana governor told NBC's Kristen Welker. "I don't see it, but we'll keep standing for everything we've always stood for, and we'll let the future take care of itself." |

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said he believes the Democratic party as a whole is responsible for their loss in the 2024 presidential election, despite many of his fellow Democrats blaming former President Biden for the upset.
On NBC's "Meet the Press," host Kirsten Welker mentioned the new book from CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios's Alex Thompson delves into the end of Biden's term and his ill-fated reelection campaign. Welker questioned Murphy on the book's reports that top officials in the Biden White House attempted to cover up the former president's mental decline.
When Welker pushed Murphy on whether he bears responsibility for the party's loss, Murphy replied, "I think we all bear responsibility."

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday warned that the reciprocal tariffs on trading partners could go back to the rate slapped on them on "Liberation Day" last month if they don't engage in good faith negotiations.
"I think that it would be the April 2nd level," Bessent said on NBC's "Meet the Press with Kristen Welker" when asked if future rates would be above 10 percent. He added, "Some countries were at 10 percent, some were substantially higher. And the negotiating leverage that President Trump is talking about here is if you don't want to negotiate then it will spring back to the April 2nd level."

Former Vice President Mike Pence lightly criticized President Trump in an interview that aired on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday over at least one aspect of his trip to the Middle East this week, saying he's "never been a fan of American presidents criticizing America on foreign soil."
"To have the president in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror, and describing it as nation-building and interventionist, I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform and who took the fight to our enemy, you know, in Afghanistan and in Iraq," Pence told NBC's Kristen Welker. "And particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia, where 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers hailed from — not including Osama bin Laden, I thought was unfortunate."
