According to NBC and confirmed by Politico, former Indiana Governor Mike Pence is scheduled to launch his bid for the GOP nomination in Iowa on June 7th.
Oddly, and speaking to the framework of the larger GOPe operation, Pence isn’t making his announcement in his home state; instead, he is going to launch his campaign during a speech in Des Moines, Iowa.
Mike Pence is a well-known name to voters having previously been vice-president to Donald Trump, and he is currently polling around 3% support according to Monmouth.
In his biggest role as Vice-President, Mike Pence was in charge of the federal COVID-19 emergency response as head of the White House COVID taskforce in 2020.
Pence is a well-known traditional Republican who identifies with voters primarily on social issues. Pence will make an appeal to the evangelical community in Iowa and is organized in that effort by GOP brand consultant Chip Saltsman, the architect of former Gov. Mike Huckabee’s 2008 Iowa caucuses victory.
(Via NBC) – Mike Pence plans to enter the GOP presidential nomination fray June 7 with a campaign video and a kickoff speech in Des Moines, Iowa, according to a person familiar with his launch schedule.
The former vice president, a longtime advocate of the priorities of traditional conservatives on social and economic issues, will join the race at a time when his onetime boss, former President Donald Trump, claims a majority in most national polls and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is in a clear second place.
Redefining himself to Republican voters, most of whom know him primarily as Trump’s vice president, will be a challenge.
But the Indiana-bred Pence views his fellow Midwesterners in the Iowa GOP, and their first-in-the-nation caucuses, as a hospitable home for his brand of politics. Typically, the Iowa caucuses play a winnowing role in the nomination fight, providing rocket fuel to a handful of candidates while burying the hopes of the rest.
“We view this race as absolutely wide open, and Iowa is really going to solidify itself as the pivotal player,” the person familiar with Pence’s plans said. “It’s a place that values Mike Pence’s principles — traditional conservative principles — deep-rooted faith and uncommon character.” (read more)
Pence’s job, on behalf of the Sea Island group, will be to present an optical contrast to the unacceptable vulgarian Trump, while Chris Christie acts as the attack dog and the rest of the field protect Ron DeSantis from The Great Godzilla MAGA King.
The team effort is increasingly transparent, and the debate hosts, like Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, are proactively positioning to shape the staged narrative. At this point in the dynamic, it is all rather shallow and obvious; however, in approved Republican operations – they never look outside the cloister.

Unless the voter rolls are cleaned up and there is some semblance of election integrity, they all are throwing their money away.
Interesting that you mention that.
As this cabal doesn’t tend to throw their currency away.
I need to think about that.
Ok, thinking over that, they are covering their bets.
Give me the power to issue a nations currency……
If by some divine miracle PDJT gets in, job one is the removal of capital gains tax on Constitutional money. Job two is to fire +90% of the Federal government.
Focused on divisions not explicitly defined in the Constitution and not equally done at the State level.
JFK attempted the effective elimination of capital gains tax via silver notes and was murdered by what became the CIA Bush crime syndicate.
The primary power of all governments is the power of war and the defintion of money to pay taxes.
“The effective elimination of capital gains tax via silver notes”
Aw, memories. My dad blamed the Hunts for Kennedy’s assassination.
Heard him mention it numerous times. Our family dinner table selection
changed after JFK’s assassination, because of this.
We’d had potato sticks as a once a week side dish for years. Then,
they disappeared. Because they were one of the Hunt family’s companies.
Anyone else remember when the Hunts tried to corner the silver market?
Ask for the numbers of the voter rolls a day or so before the election.
Then a week or two AFTER the elections ask for the same voter rolls and see if those numbers didn’t change.
If they changed, which is normally the case as they scrub their extra numbers after the election, then get the local sheriff and go after the local and state election officials for the crime of a fraudulent election as they removed all those “people” that “voted”.
I recently read where those rolls that were illegally changed were then changed back sooner than a few weeks. But that’s a very good place to start.
I do believe it’s already being discussed in NY where there is a large voter roll and election inspection going on by independents outside of government.
Yeah, some version of martial law is required to restore American democracy.
The voting machines are intensely corrupt and that is the point.
Douglas Frank revealed the plan. Driving paper ballots around at night is the cover up not the steal. Poor sweet Dinesh D’Sousa totally misses the point.
A majority of county sheriffs are Soro$ minion$… Maricopa county is just one example you may have heard of.
The Soros minion sheriff had armed snipers stationed on top of the building in which the “votes were being counted’ in ’22… to keep the honest people at bay.
Unless the county sheriff is a CSPOA constitutional sheriff { cspoa.org } there is little-to-no chance of an appropriate response to crime.
When the sheriff & DA work together to prosecute election crime, it works well.

They don’t seem to care whether they win or lose, as long as MAGA gets purged from their Club. MAGA might as well break away now and start a third Party. I don’t believe that is a winning formula for MAGA, but running on our own may at least show the Repugs how stupidly they are killing the goose that has already laid a golden egg for them. The tragedy is that all we will be able to say is “We told you so.” That and 10 bucks will just about get you some coffee at Starbucks.
The good news is that Tim Pool has bought a coffee company and will soon be opening his own coffee shop that he wishes to franchise. He wants his shops to be where people can go to get alternative news.
He discussed this last night on his podcast with James O’Keefe. He told James he will create a coffee mix for him, and that all the profit will go as a donation to OMG.
Cleaning up voter rolls could be the one good thing the RINOs do for the US.
I hope ALL the corruption ammo in the cannon from Covid that the Godless Mike was involved in will soon be released.
Trump should not do debates just interviews, townhalls, and rallies.
There is no reason for him to step into a roomful of hyenas ready to destroy him. He would always be on the defensive.
They are now assembling the “DEBATE EXTRAS” for DeSantis to trounce while DJT is in court and can’t participate. You can’t run DeSantis only, because if Trump is absent, the whole thing will look too absurd… as if it does not already. We need to see this as a theater choreography or a movie production: DeSantis signed on as the “star” so the “rest of the cast” is now being assembled.
It cost $447 Million to produce “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_films
That will be a small price to pay for POTUS. However, if the script calls for DeSantis to run and lose to Biden, the budget might be half that. All laundered through “book deals” and “Ukrainian board directorships”, etc. IMHO
How weak do these extras need to be?
E-Ron barely survived debates against a gay meth head and Charlie Crist.
And all these extras will lose just like Disney and their $4.4 BILLION purchase of the StarWars properties that they have run into the ground with their same death cult ideology these “DEBATE EXTRAS” follow.
Another lying scumbag.
Six Pence doesn’t have a chance. He knows it, we know it, everyone knows it.
If we step back and look at the big picture, we have to ask the question: why is he running?
I can only guess it’s where he gets his big payoff for his role in the 2020 Coup d’Etat.
His running is where $$$ gets laundered back into his campaign to pay him off. I see no other logical reason for him to run. He’s throwing his hat into the ring to use as a collection plate for the dancing monkey.
The yuge MAGA crowds didn’t show up for this fly attracting monkey. They showed up for President Trump.
He’s just going so he can hang himself, like his mentor Judas Iscariot.
Can’t be too soon for me.
Judas regretted selling out Christ.
Pence and the others are happy they sold President Trump and us out.
Judas is the moral superior of 99% of all American politicians.
That appears to actually be true.
and he will be oh so prayerful when he absconds with the money.
And he will hear from the Lord one day “I never knew you.”
My wife doesn’t follow politics closely, but she LOVES Trump and HATES Pence. Says his book money was basically a bribe.
All I need to know.
He bought a really nice house with it!
So great to see how you respect and trust your wife’s judgment!
I hope President Trump will not participate in any of the early debates. Let the RINO’s all fall out until there are only one or two left then begin the debates. Why give these people a chance to throw mud at him. Let them throw mud at each other until there are only a few remaining. Then President Trump can begin the debates and clean the floor with these stooges.
Debates are a joke. Why give the GOPe, Press, the exposure. Nothing but leveraging their candidate since the Nixon/Kennedy one.
Typically the president does not participate in primary debates.
You won’t see Michael Flynn endorsing this fly catcher.
Hey monkey mike, you are not a serious person. You are a complete fraud.
You may act serious and speak in a low tone, but we know the truth. you are not a serious person. You are a lying fraud.
Nature knows the truth. That’s why the fly landed on you in the middle of a debate for all the world to see you piece of crap.
Someone important does not like to be mocked. Neither do we. Go away fly boy.
He really does sort of look like an albino ape.
Sweet, he’s going to take 0.1% away from Desantis.
What is wrong with these people? I saw a headline earlier that Chris Christie is announcing.
What a waste of time. I know, chaos and trillions at stake!
It’s the old Marxis plan of divide and conqur. That’s why so many are running. They know they can’t win. They are just trying to dilute the vote count. I’m sure they are making the big bucks.
What the hell is Pence talking about anyway , did he not hear Trump say PROTEST PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY ?
WHAT A BACKSTABBING LYING POS HE IS . I’m convinced Pence was in on the Pelosi Fed set up all along . He’s no Christian .
Flies are attracted to sh**, which is why one landed on Pence’s head for all the world to see. Just sayin’.
This is my personal view of the greatest traitor in American History….MIKE PENCE. Traitor MIKE PENCE was the one single individual who had the opportunity to stop the illegal election fraud and send it all back to the States for a confirmation. He had that right regardless of what the Democrats and Mainstream Media said. He chose the thirty pieces of silver instead. Tritor MIKE PENCE, not only stabbed President Trump in the back, but he also stabbed about eighty million Americans too. There is no forgiving or coming back from that. We are suffering right now because MIKE PENCE chose personal gain over his oath and responsibility to the People and the Nation. In a perfect world, Mike Pence, and most of Washington, DC, would have already been swinging from the end of a rope, but we don`t live in a perfect world.
“We are suffering right now because MIKE PENCE chose personal gain over his oath and responsibility to the People and the Nation.”
Absolutely , Stillwater67 !
Shout it Out !!!
Another public “servant” trying to fatten up his pension. Mikey can’t be that tone deaf …………. as the overwhelming majority tell him it is a waste of time. Go away Mike! Bad dog!
I like that – “bad dog!”
The Grey Judas will be peeling away some of Nimratas half a dozen votes.
His announcement would not be well received in his home state. That guy will get booed wherever he goes.
Having just witnessed how many Indiana reps voted for the McCarthy/Biden Debt Boondoggle, this doesn’t surprise me one bit.
I’m so mad I could spit.
Establishment GOP is very strong in Indiana.
AZ has the McStain dyNASTY, Utah has Mittens, Michigan has Rona McRomney, Georgia has Kemp, Wisconsin has Lyin’ Ryan now with Faux, Texas has the Bush dyNASTY…
As bad as ObamaCare was, for whatever reason, this hit me as hard.
If ever a bill was so patently, obviously an egregious mistake, this was it.
I concur. This is the absolute death knell for the country. I can’t even look at any of it anymore. My entire focus has to be on getting moved abroad. There’s nothing more I can do.
TRAITOR
No, traitor, history will hold YOU accountable for your many sins, betraying the President of the United States, allowing what you knew was a fraudulent election to be sanctioned, being a party to the Covid scam to help bring down President Trump knowing many Americans would die. If you think you have a snowball’s chance in hell to become president you are delusional. You are DOA to all patriots. Now go crawl back under the rock from whence you came.
You would have to be 2 cents short of a dime to not see what is happening here. President Trump shouldn’t debate any of them. Let them fight at the kids table because no one, and I mean no one wants either of those 3 POS.
Booooo Booooo! Go home, your time has NEVER arrived Mike.
Mike is the kind of fellow I see as holding a Bible out front and always acting so holier than though, but behind his back is a knife.
I spent several months reading every book on him and asking all my Indiana friends and family the reality of his life as their jackwagon governor. They detested him, he caved to every leftist push, much like our Governor in TN, Bill Lee.
Anyway, I wrote three articles on the man because there was so much. I really need to bullet point those three articles and get them out again, but I don’t think many will vote for the guy, especially with the great comments in this article!
Pence never finished anything Trump gave him to do, and the last thing he did was bring in Fauci, Birx and Redfield who helped to destroy Trump. I was horribly disturbed with his choice in 2016, and 2021 just added to the horror of Pence getting that far. What a total dirtbag.
He can NOT kick off his campaign in Indiana. We hate him. He can NOT win in Indiana. He knows it.
Nimrata, the man hands aren’t going to win you any delegates.
Do these fools understand that after Trump wins, THEY ARE GOING TO BE PUNISHED?
They are counting on all that oligarch $$$ to soften the blows.
Pence will go down in history as one of the greatest cowards of all time, and a traitor to boot.
One of the few pleasures I have in life is imagining his excruciating experience in hell, in the lake of fire, being eaten over and over again by demonic creatures, forever, no way out, no end.
I do that with a lot of them.
30 Pieces of Pence!
The above is NOT violent! It is Biblical re: Judas’ betrayal for 30 pieces of silver.
I think we understood that but you never know.
You can’t cut a reptile into too many pieces.
Anybody who would still support Mike Pence on the basis of his religious convictions is a moron.
Mike could get half of the votes that Biden got and still win!
Kool Aid drinking moron.
Coloring books must not be selling so well
The hog stench from the Iowa farmers will be out permeated by the presence of traitor Pence. He’d get more votes from the anti American anti Christianity party we refer to as the democrats.
I suspect Pence knows that he has a snowball’s chance in Haiti at being elected dog catcher. He’s doing this for the Sea Island money for the RINO party and possibly some post in what he thinks may be a DeSantis administration. The US needs no more RINO’s.
What Mike knows is that he doesn’t need any votes to become our next president.
I hope the evangelicals spit in his face and remind him about the 10 Commandments, and all the ones he broke.
What a lunatic loser.
he’s a traitor to the American people imo. All he had to do was to do nothing. Oddly, shortly after he betrayed us, he bought a new 1+ million dollar home in a tony neighborhood. hmmmmm…..
This was his first house. All this other homes, have been owned by the taxpayers. He’s a leech in every sense.
Mikey has learned how to feather the retirement nest, too.
We are Rome.
Well Bernie did it and Mrs. Pence wanted a new house too.
There is zero reason for President Trump to participate in any of these “debates”.
If a feckless VP announces he’s running for POTUS in a forest of candidates who nobody follows … does he make a sound? No. Crickets.
Pence is currently polling around 3%…and they are viewing the race as…WIDE OPEN.
Hope selling your soul to those who stole the election and are currently DESTROYING the United States of America was worth it, Judas Pence…
Grifters, Inc. SD Describes correctly – Pence is trying to be the ‘cool’ and ‘unflappable’ backstabber, while others stab in the front. This is the manifestation of ‘lose with Trump’ strategy. They would rather lose with Trump and be in opposition than win with Trump and have to be called in to account for themselves. Trillions at stake is what this is all about.
OK, Mike Whom? I hope a pile of the Stupid people give him money. They deserve to lose it giving it to a LIAR.
I really despise that lying, traitorous Judas.
The guy that cant stay in a room where there are women because he is afraid he will accused of abuse. Lets hear what promises he will make and break. This will be fun when Trump makes Judas Pence confess to his political sins, esp when he killed so many Americans by unleashing the Covid Task Force and their lies and non-medical care.
“ Pence is a well-known traditional Republican who identifies with voters primarily on social issues.”
lol
I love the Treehouse. Sundance provides well researched and thoughtful counsel.
The comments of fellow treepers lift my spirits in so many ways and provide a soft place for my often heavy heart to land.
Thank you one and all.
Well said, you’re very articulate. That is such an excellent expression of gratitude…
“… lift my spirits in so many ways and provide a soft place for my often heavy heart to land….”
is a beautiful turn of phrase. A benevolent metaphor for the roller coaster ride we’ve been put upon.
Thanks & Blessings to you, Little dickens.
Holy Moly, living 2016 crap in reverse.
As much as I love SD, didn’t even need to read the article to get what is going on here. (Thanks to SD opening my eyes many years ago, lol)
What amazes me? Is that they keep trying to find the magical potion. And all they are really doing is throwing wet noodles on a wall with nothing sticking.
I pray for my children, my Country and our President.
These people are truly unrelenting on the quest for money, control and power.
Which, sadly, does them no good in the end.
he’ll be out before thanksgiving
Larry Elder has also joined the race. I don’t consider him a Republican ‘insider’, and wonder as to his motivations. I would suspect that it’s unlikely he has joined to protect the big money interests. He certainly understands that he has no chance of winning. And he was a Trump supporter…..so this is interesting.
The pic with Haley reveals so much.
It shows a man who supposedly keeps solid physical distance boundaries with women and is bragged upon for his professionalism and keeping women outside the personal bubble space, very very comfortable leaning into a women leaning into him, whispering to him with a familiarity with each other.
Just an observation.
I hope Trump appoints the right people this time who will be loyal to him. Pence could have intervened in the obvious voter fraud that occurred. There were many whistleblowers that reported what was going on. All I had to see was the widows of one of the polling places covered up and the Republican poll watchers standing outside.
