Mike Pence’s Surprising New Gig Is Revealed

Mike Pence is about to get a crash course in reviving his career since the former vice president ended his bid for president earlier this year.

According to Fox News, the former Trump ally will be teaching a course at Grove City College next semester, the school announced. Grove City is a conservative Christian school in Grove City, Pennsylvania.

“It was an honor to be on campus today and see President Paul McNulty and so many wonderful students!” Pence posted Thursday on X after delivering remarks at the college’s Institute for Faith & Freedom.

Grove City College describes Pence’s new role as Distinguished Visiting Fellow for Faith & Public Life for the school’s new Center for Faith & Public Life, which will “explore and support the presence of Christian faith in public institutions.”

Pence added in his own statement that he is honored to practice his faith at an institution dedicated to inspiring future generations of conservatives.

“It is my great honor to serve as a visiting fellow to Grove City College’s new Center for Faith & Public Life,” Pence said. “Faith and engaging in public life are not mutually exclusive, nor should they ever be. History shows that Christians steadily working toward the common good have changed the world, and Grove City College opening a center shows they are committed to continuing this work.”

He continued: “Grove City College has been a pivotal institution in helping students grow in their faith and in understanding God’s calling for their life through a rigorous education and a faith-based community. Grove City works to send out young men and women into the world to be beacons of light and truth in a world that needs leaders of integrity and principle.”

Describing him as the “perfect choice” for the position, Grove City College President Paul J. McNulty emphasized Pence’s importance in pushing faith-based principles in an increasingly secular society.

“The appropriate role of faith in the public square is a major issue in this moment of our American life. The Founders envisioned a free society sustained by a self-governing citizenry and strengthened by virtues rooted in religious belief. At the core of the Christian faith is the call to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. The Center will examine how and why Christians have sought to put their faith into action for the common good,” McNulty said in a statement.

“Mike Pence is the perfect choice for the Center’s first fellowship,” he added.

“No one has pursued this calling more sincerely than the former vice president,” the president continued. “He is an extraordinary role model for what it looks like to lead with wisdom and winsomeness in public life, and he will be a leading source of thought leadership and an impactful voice of the Center.”

The school touted Pence in its release as being at the forefront of political battles to protect the practice of faith, including during his time in the White House.

“As one of America’s foremost Christian political leaders, Pence has been explicit about how his faith has guided him as a public servant. The wisdom he has accrued over decades of service in Congress, as governor of Indiana, and as the nation’s second-in-command for four years under President Donald J. Trump will benefit the new center.”

In his new role, Pence will join McNulty in teaching a course, speak and work closely with students, and attend various events and other functions on campus, the school noted.

Since leaving office, the former vice president has published a book, titled “So Help Me God,” which included defenses about his decision to rebuff calls by President Trump to decline to certify Congress’s acceptance of the 2020 election results. The split was a pivotal moment between Pence and the MAGA movement, with President Trump’s loyal supporters accusing the onetime ally of siding with the president’s critics and failing to support allegations that President Joe Biden stole the election.

Before quitting the race for president, Pence accused Trump of contributing to the attack on Israel by Hamas.

“This is what happens when we have leading voices like Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis signaling retreat from America’s role as leader of the free world. What happened in Ukraine was an unprovoked invasion by Russia. What happened this weekend was an unprovoked invasion by Hamas into Israel and I believe now more than ever, both the debate within the Republican Party and the debate within America is whether or not we’re going to once again stand without apology as the leader of the free world, as the arsenal of democracy,” he said back in October.
