Former Vice President Mike Pence<\/a> revealed his brief exchange with President-elect Trump, which was caught on camera at former President Carter\u2019s state funeral.<\/p>\n

The pair have not been seen publicly together since leaving the White House<\/a> in disagreement over the 2020 election results. At the service at the National Cathedral, Pence stood up to shake Trump’s hand, and they appeared to exchange pleasantries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former second lady Karen Pence, who was seated next to her husband, did not stand up or acknowledge Trump.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Christianity Today, Pence said he “welcomed” the opportunity to speak with Trump.<\/p>\n

“He greeted me when he came down the aisle. I stood up, extended my hand. He shook my hand. I said, \u2018Congratulations, Mr. President<\/a>,\u2019 and he said, \u2018Thanks, Mike,\u2019” Pence said.<\/p>\n

Pence also recalled one of his final conversations with Trump in 2021, when he told Trump he would continue to pray for him. Trump responded, “Don’t bother,” the outlet reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I said, \u2018You know, there\u2019s probably two things that we\u2019re never going to agree on. \u2026 We\u2019re probably never going to agree on what my duty was under the Constitution on Jan. 6<\/a>.’ And then I said, \u2018And I\u2019m never going to stop praying for you,'” Pence told Christianity Today. “And he said, ‘That\u2019s right, Mike, don\u2019t ever change.'”<\/p>\n

He said he kept his word.<\/p>\n

While the two appeared to remain cordial at the service for Carter, Pence told the outlet he doesn\u2019t think Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.<\/a> is the right fit to manage Health and Human Services and was concerned about former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard serving as national intelligence director.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Trump and Advancing American Freedom, a public policy advocacy organization founded by Pence, for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n
