Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence joined in with Donald Trump Thursday and declined to endorse Sens. John McCain and Kelly Ayotte amid their re-election campaigns.

According to NBC News, Pence declined to say whether he supports the pair of senators, who Trump publicly railed against during an interview with the Washington Post on Tuesday. Pence said that he plans to support GOP candidates “all over the country,” adding that Trump does too, but didn’t reveal his intentions regarding McCain and Ayotte.
