I thought the same thing. Head scratcher for sure. My only thought was he declined to invoke the 25th amendment when Pelosi and others were pushing for it a few weeks ago. ?
Supposedly they had a reconciliatory meeting not long after the 6th and Trump is said to have forgiven him, personally. Trump is not a vindictive man, and I think he's gained a lot of perspective during the past four years, including recognizing that people simply have limits to how brave and/or bound to ethics they can be in a crisis. At this point, though, with what we currently know, I can't imagine that Pence thinks his political career is in anything other than the toilet.
Yes, I think Pence's nerve straight up failed and he folded in terror. Perhaps he was being blackmailed. Perhaps his family had been threatened. It's likely we'll never know the full truth. But he's done, I think, politically.
I don't think he mentioned the fraud either, but it may have had more to do with him trying to get everyone to calm down after the MSM gaslight everyone into thinking it was "worse than 9/11" than anything else. If he kept on saying that the election was stolen after the fraud was certified and all legal options were off of the table, it would have most likely been the thing they needed to pull the trigger on the 25th.

i could be wrong, but i don't think he mentioned the fraud ever again after 1/6
