According to a Fox News report, former Vice President Mike Pence will announce his candidacy for President of the United States next week; he will make it official in Iowa next Wednesday.
From Fox News:
Pundits had long viewed Pence as a likely 2024 contender, as he spent the past two years crisscrossing the country to campaign and help raise money for Republicans running in the 2022 elections. Those travels took Pence multiple times to Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, the first four states to vote in the Republican presidential nominating calendar – as he strengthened relationships in the early voting presidential primary and caucus states that usually precede the launch of a White House campaign.
The former vice president also spent a couple of months late last year and early this year making stops nationwide as part of a book tour for his memoir “So Help Me God.” The autobiography gives an account of his career, including his four years serving under Trump. And behind the scenes he was busy adding to his core team of longstanding advisers and building a team in the key early-voting states.
In interviews with Fox News and other news organizations, Pence would reiterate when asked about running for president that he and his wife Karen would “make a decision wherever we feel called and we’ll go we’re called.”
Pence joins a growing list of 2024 GOP candidates, including frontrunner former President Donald Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, former Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, conservative talk radio host Larry Elder, and more.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is also confirmed to be jumping into the race next week.
