Mike Pence tells WABC radio show this year’s midterms “couldn’t be more important”

Former Vice President Mike Pence said in an interview on WABC’s “Cats & Cosby” that the upcoming midterm elections will have an outsized impact on the country’s future.

Pence made the remarks during a Monday interview on the New York radio program, where he described the stakes of the election in broad terms. He said, “this upcoming election couldn’t be more important in the life of the nation,” according to The Hill’s account of the interview.

In the same interview, Pence framed the election as a pivotal moment for decisions that will determine the nation’s course, tying his message to what he characterized as the moment’s significance for voters.

The comments were delivered as political attention turns to the midterms and to how candidates and party leaders present the consequences of control of Congress and the direction of federal policy.

Pence’s remarks also underscore that, even after leaving elected office, he continues to engage directly with voters through appearances on mass-audience media platforms, including local radio.

The Hill reported that Pence criticized GOP and Democratic figures during the interview, but the available description did not specify particular claims, policy areas, or individual targets beyond his assessment of the midterm election’s importance.
