A top Republican said Tuesday he would vote against President Obama’s tax deal when it comes to the House floor.

Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), the outgoing chairman of the House Republican Conference and a possible candidate for governor or president in 2012, joined the ranks of conservatives who have come out in opposition to the tax-cut plan before Congress.

“At the end of the day, I’ve just come to the conclusion: the American people did not vote for more stimulus,” Pence said on conservative talker Sean Hannity’s radio show. “Therefore, I will not vote for this tax deal when it comes to the floor of the House of Representatives.”
