Former Vice President Mike Pence opened his bid for the Republican nomination for president Wednesday with a firm denunciation of former President Trump, accusing him of abandoning conservative principles and dereliction of duty on Jan. 6, 2021.
Republican presidential candidate former Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen arrives to speak at a campaign event, Wednesday, June 7, 2023, in Ankeny, Iowa.
“I believe anyone that puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president of the United States, and anyone who asks someone else to put them over the Constitution should never be president of the United Sates again,” he said. Pence’s campaign will test the party’s appetite for a socially conservative, mild-mannered and deeply religious candidate who has criticized the populist tide that has swept through his party under Trump. And it will show whether Pence has a political future when many in his party still believe Trump’s false statements that the 2020 election was stolen and that Pence had the power to reject the results of the election, won by Democrat Joe Biden.
A CNN poll conducted last month found 45% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said they would not support Pence under any circumstance. Only 16% said the same about Trump.
