Pence to announce 2024 run next week.
Former Vice President Mike Pence to Run for President in 2024
Exciting news for the Republican party! Sources close to Mike Pence have confirmed that he will be announcing his candidacy for president next week.
Pence is set to launch his campaign on June 7th at a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, according to the Des Moines Register. He is expected to focus on Iowa, which holds the first caucus in the Republican primary, as reported by the Hill.
Joining an increasingly crowded GOP field, Pence will be up against former President Donald Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is also expected to announce his bid for the Republican nomination on Tuesday in New Hampshire, according to NBC News.
Despite drawing harsh criticism from Trump after he refused to block the certification of the 2020 election results on January 6, 2021, Pence has since stated that Trump was “wrong” and that the former president’s “reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day,” as reported by NPR.
Pence’s allies have launched a super PAC, “Committed to America,” this month in preparation for his presidential run. According to the RealClearPolitics poll average, he is currently polling at 3.8 percent among Republicans, behind Trump, DeSantis, and Haley.
