Mike Pence Enters 2024 Presidential Race, Challenging Trump

Описание: Saying “different times call for different leadership,” former Vice President Mike Pence announced that he’s challenging his former boss, Donald Trump, for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

“Today, our party and our country need a leader that’ll appeal, as Lincoln said, to the better angels of our nature,” Pence declared in a video released Wednesday before a kick-off event in Iowa, which has the first-in-the-nation GOP caucuses and where he’s concentrating his campaign.

“It’d be easy to stay on the sidelines, but that’s not how I was raised,” Pence said in the video. “That’s why today, before God and my family, I’m announcing I’m running for president of the United States.”

The former Indiana congressman and governor joins a crowded GOP roster with more than 10 candidates that is still growing, with North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum also expected to announce his candidacy on Wednesday.
