Vice President Mike Pence announced he would not endorse Donald Trump.

Principal Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulk sent a memo announcing the ad on Monday, September 9.

"When Trump took office, he said he would hire only ‘the best people,’ and now those very people who know him best refuse to support him and warn about how dangerous a second Trump term would be," he wrote. "To every American who understands the threat that Donald Trump poses, who cares about upholding the Constitution, who believes in the rule of law, and who knows America is stronger when it leads, there’s a home for you in Vice President Harris’ campaign."

Former Vice President Mike Pence led the series of quotes in the new campaign ad.

"Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States," he declared in a clip from a 2023 speech. "It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year."

The ad also featured a quote from former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who claimed Trump would "cause a lot of damage" because the "only thing he cares about" is himself.

General Mark Milley, who served as the 20th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said: "We don’t take an oath to a king or queen, pirate or dictator. We don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator."

These are only a select few former Trump officials who have spoken out against the ex-POTUS. As OK! previously reported, Anthony Scaramucci, who very briefly served as the White House Communications Director in 2017, predicted that Trump would lose the 2024 election because he's getting "old," "boring" and "tired."

"The electorate has changed since 2016. We've lost over 20 million baby boomers since 2016," he continued. "At the same time, Generation Z has come into the fold to the tune of 40 million. So that's been a big mixture of lower aged voters into the mix. And they seem interested in politics."
