He's far behind Pedo Don and Meatball Ron. I doubt he'll catch up. Smart, rational Republicans will try to push Nikki, but I doubt there are enough of them to make it happen.
The Democrats are wishing it will be Trump, but, at present, I'm guessing it will be DeSantis. Unlike the rest of the field, Pence won't be running for VP. Nikki could still be a good VP candidate to soften Ron's image. Casey DeSantis would like it too.

Previously I didn't think Pence broke any laws; in fact, I saw him as a potential victim of the mob who had a lucky escape, and as trump's punching bag after he refused to "overturn" the election.
Now I wonder why he lawyered up and tried so hard to keep from giving testimony in the 1/6 investigation. He claimed executive privilege but the judge didn't buy it. He even said he's willing to take the battle to SCOTUS.
Pence will have to answer questions re: any criminality by trump, not any crime committed by himself. It's his duty but he doesn't want to do it. According to The Hill, he's using this lame argument in his defense: "Pence’s team planned to roll out an unusual argument in the case, saying testimony would violate the “speech and debate” clause of the Constitution which shields legislators from being questioned in any other place” beyond legislative chambers."
Guess I'm a lot more cynical than you because I don't believe that being faithful to his religious beliefs will keep him from refusing to answer questions that might show him in a bad light.

Calling Dan Quayle didn't look good for him. Supposedly he understands the Constitution and the election rules, and he could have gone to his own lawyers with questions. Even we JPP posters know about the ceremonial role of counting electoral votes, so why did the VP even have to ask another's opinion about it.

People are confused as to why top Republicans who clearly hate Trump, and top Fox who clearly hate Trump, will support him and not put a bullet in him when they have the chance when they want him gone.
It is not a tough question to answer. The answer starts at the 26 second mark of this video.
Any Republican who is not seen as FIGHTING for Trump, in his challenges will lose a big part of his base going forward and while there is no guarantee they get them anyway, they all hold on to that HOPE.
So while Pence and so many others are crossing their fingers that a Prosecution can take Trump out of the picture, they will 'fight for Trump' as it happens, while hoping Trump loses and goes to jail but they can then say 'I fought for Trump... vote for me and lets continue his legacy'.
Republicans care about power and ruling more than anything else. So they will not risk losing the Trump base to get rid of him. Getting rid of Trump and not winning any elections as a big percent of the 30% of his support stays home, would destroy them, just as Lindsey Graham once said.
