Mike Pence will formally launch his bid for the Republican nomination with a video and kickoff event in Des Moines, Iowa on Wednesday.
Former Vice President Mike Pence speaks during a meet and greet event in Des Moines, Iowa, US, on Tuesday, May 23, 2023. Former Vice President Mike Pence filed paperwork on Monday declaring his campaign for president in 2024, setting up a challenge to his former boss, Donald Trump, just two years after their time in the White House ended with an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and Pence fleeing for his life.
Pence has warned against the growing populist tide in the party, and advisers see him as the only traditional, Reagan-style conservative in the race. The campaign is expected to lean heavily on town halls and retail stops aimed at reintroducing Pence to voters who only know him from his time as Trump’s second-in-command. Pence served for more than a decade in Congress and as Indiana’s governor before he was tapped as Trump’s running mate in 2016.As vice president, Pence had been an exceeding loyal defender of Trump until the days leading up to Jan.
Pence joins a crowded Republican field that includes Trump, DeSantis, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, U.S. Sen Tim Scott of South Carolina, tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie plans to launch his own campaign Tuesday evening in New Hampshire, and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum will announce his bid Wednesday in Fargo.
