> As someone who has lived under him as governor, in Indiana, this is a very nice side effect of Trump losing (assuming he does, but I’m leaning hard toward assuming right now). Am I right in thinking this? There isn’t any real possibility that the Republican party could try to resurrect Pence’s career in 2024,

Well, there’s a POSSIBILITY, but it’s remote. Pence is popular among religious extremists but that’s not an uncommon skill in the GOP. Many, many people will be vying for the nomination; Pence is an extreme longshot.
