BREAKING: Pence launches 2024 presidential campaign with filing; will challenge his former boss - Donald Trump
Former President Mike Pence
"Come this Wednesday, I’m announcing in Iowa, Pence said to cheers and applause as he spoke at Sen. Joni Ernst’s Roast and Ride, her annual motorcycle ride and barbeque that benefits veterans.former President Trump Pence will enter the 2024 race polling the mid-single digits, far behind Trump and also significantly trailing, who trails Trump by double-digits but is firmly in second place, ahead of the former vice president and the rest of the field of actual and likely candidates.
However, everything changed on Jan. 6, 2021, as right-wing extremists — including some chanting"hang Mike Pence" —aiming to upend congressional certification of President Biden’s Electoral College victory that was overseen by Pence. Pence will become the first running mate in eight decades to run against his former boss, since Vice President John Nance Garner unsuccessfully challenged President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1940 election.
Pence is not the only veteran of the Trump White House who’s challenging the former president. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who served as ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration’s first two years, declared her candidacy in February. However, Pence likely faces the trickiest path forward, due in part to his role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
