Thin on the left so far
None of the 6 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.
This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
On 12 November 2026 former Vice President Mike Pence appeared in an interview with Fox News Digital. The interview was conducted by reporter Paul Steinhauser. In response to a question about a possible 2028 presidential campaign, Pence said he had been "very humbled" by a lot of people asking him to run and did not close the door on another bid.
Two months earlier, at a speaking engagement hosted by the Economic Club of Washington, D.C., Pence told the audience he had "no plans" for a 2028 run or any other elected office. The new comments contrast with that earlier statement.
During the same Fox News Digital interview, Pence added that the Republican Party must return to what he described as the principles of a strong defence, limited government, fiscal responsibility and the right to life, otherwise the identity of the 2028 nominee will not matter.
“"a lot of people are asking me to run in 2028."”
What the left omitted
No left‑rated outlet published a story about Pence’s comments, so the left side omitted any mention of his 2028 presidential considerations, his earlier "no plans" remark, or the reactions from conservatives.
Still developing. We have re-checked which outlets are covering this 2 times, most recently on 13 Nov 2026, 02:45, and will add the sides that appear.
How each side covered it
Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.

0 rated outlets
No outlet rated left has run this story so far. We are still checking, and will say plainly if that does not change.

1 rated outlet
- The Hill’s digest reported that Pence left the door open to a 2028 presidential bid and highlighted his call for the GOP to return to its core principles. The digest did not include direct quotations or detailed commentary beyond that framing.
Right
5 rated outlets
- The Gateway Pundit’s full report described Pence as "floating the idea" of a 2028 run, quoted his statement that "a lot of people" are asking him to run, and noted his criticism that the current version of Republicanism was rejected by the American people. It also reproduced his remarks about returning to strong defence, limited government, fiscal responsibility and the right to life. Digests from WLTReport, The Daily Caller, TrendingPolitics and News Addicts each reported that Pence is considering or has floated a 2028 presidential bid, referencing his Fox News Digital interview but without providing direct quotations.
Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Mike Pence says many urge him to run for president in 2028?
- Of the 6 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 17% are rated centre, 83% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Mike Pence says many urge him to run for president in 2028 left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 6 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
- Is the coverage of Mike Pence says many urge him to run for president in 2028 biased?
- Mike Pence says many urge him to run for president in 2028 is one event reported by 6 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
- Which side is not reporting Mike Pence says many urge him to run for president in 2028?
