| Description | It wasn’t that long ago that Rep. Mike Pence called Sen. Dick Lugar his “hero,” but now Pence, like several other Indiana Republicans, is staying neutral as Lugar faces one of the toughest primary challenges of his career.
Pence told The Hill on Tuesday that he still considers Lugar (R-Ind.) “a mentor and a friend,” but that he’s staying out of next year’s GOP Senate primary.
“I’ve known both men and respected both men for more than 20 years, and I think that when you have two good choices in a primary, you ought to let voters decide,” he said. “I consider Richard Lugar a mentor and a friend, and Richard Mourdock is someone I have admired as well.” |
