Meet the Press interviews for 2023 races: on Principles & Values


Mike Pence: United States is the gold standard of justice in the world

I have to tell you, as someone that has represented the United States on the world stage, as someone who was on the International Relations Committee for ten years, we're the gold standard of justice in the world. And to see a former president of the United States be subject to an indictment by the administration of the current president, that he may well be facing again in the future, that sends a terrible message to the wider world.

Doug Burgum: The president is supposed to bring people together

If you're a legislator you put on your jersey, you fight for your side, you vote oftentimes along party lines. If you don't vote with the party, you vote at your peril. The president of the United States is the one that's supposed to unite people. It's supposed to bring people together. It's supposed to paint a vision about a powerful, positive future. We've gone astray on that, where the presidency has also become hyper-partisan, no matter which party is in office.

Will Hurd: Character matters; service matters; US has a world role

I was there to talk to the people that believe in personal responsibility, that believe character matters, that believe service matters, that believes that the United States has a role in the world and it's important to us back here at home. And also to prove to the rest of the field that we're running for an election, and if you're afraid to talk about Donald Trump or talk about his baggage, then you're not ready to be president of the United States.
