Pence briefly ran unsuccessfully for president against Trump in the 2024 presidential primary – dropping out in October 2023 – and did not endorse Trump at any point leading up to the November election.
The two have publicly criticized each other over the past few years, including in 2023 when Trump called Pence "delusional" and the former vice president said last year he could not "in good conscience" endorse Trump.

Carter, the 39th president, died on Dec. 29 at the age of 100 after he was admitted to hospice care in 2023.
