Former Vice President Mike Pence has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to officially declare his candidacy to win the 2024 GOP nomination.
Pence is expected to publicly launch his campaign with a Wednesday rally in Des Moines, Iowa. He is also expected to hold additional events in the state following his campaign announcement, including a CNN town hall at Grand View University. In order to pretend his way onto the GOP debate stage, Pence is putting all of his election eggs into the Iowa basket.
WASHINGTON DC – Mike Pence filed paperwork on Monday to run for president, setting up an unprecedented contest between a former vice president and a former president of his own party for the nomination. His largest task will be attempting to win back Republicans who largely cast him aside following Donald Trump’s presidency.
Pence’s entry into the race comes after a sometimes tumultuous two years in the political wilderness following his actions on Jan. 6 to certify the 2020 election, resisting intense pressure from Trump. He has occasionally faced boos from the MAGA base at GOP confabs in places such as a Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Florida in 2021 and even on his home turf at a National Rifle Association meeting in Indianapolis this year.
The former six-term congressman and one-term Indiana governor sees an opportunity in Iowa. There, his advisers are betting he can lavish attention and rebuild the coalition of evangelical voters that delivered caucus victories to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas in 2016, former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania in 2012 and former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas in 2008. Pence hired the architect of Huckabee’s campaign, Chip Saltsman, to help him do just that.
“Iowa feels more like Indiana more than any other state in the nation,” Pence told voters in Des Moines late last month. (read more)
In related news, Gov. Chris Sununu (R-N.H.) announced Monday that he will not enter the 2024 Republican presidential primary, saying a crowded field will only help former President Donald Trump win. (link)
Loser
FMP
Good Luck with that!
Dude might as well put on a dress and change his name to Liz Cheney.
Well, Pence is a TransRepublican..so there’s that…
And a CHRISTIAN !!! The GOPe actually believe he’ll siphon-off the Christian vote from that “RUDE, RAPIST” candidate.
Good luck with that
Never thought about that. Great observation.
Some of those idiot campaign experts are thinking exactly that.
This is so exciting!
No, not Mike Pence. This lint I just pulled out of the dryer filter.
you are very kind…
..I just finished policing the backyard for puppy poo….
Now to go pull weeds and cut the grass.
I want to marry you
Kathleen: Hang on. I’ll ask my wife.
Be careful, ya’ never know what she might say if you left that toilet seat up last night! 😂
LOL!!
His largest task will be attempting to win back Republicans who largely cast him aside following Donald Trump’s presidency.
Good luck with that, Judas.
Someone has told ,or they were assured that PDJT will be in jail before the election. Nothing else makes any sense to me.
Then you write Trump on your ballot and vote for no one else. Send them all to the wall!
Better to vote for PDJT in jail than a Mike(cro) bot…
Judas has entered the race.
Judas Pence.
Judas found a tree and did what he was called to do by God. At least he acknowledged his transgrsession.
I flushed better turds down the toilet!
That would be a wonderful news story
What’s not to like. Extreme sarcasm.
Mike Pence… Whoopee. Anyone feeling the excitement? Didn’t think so.
Well … Pence finally put something exciting between his legs. He cruised into IOWA on a Harley Masturbator … err, Roadmaster
From whence?
The edge of town where they unloaded him and the bike?
Incidentally, does that look like helmet hair, or his usual helmet-like hair?
Like Mayor-Pete’s made-for-TV bicycle …?
Genau!
A man only a Karen could love.
I often wonder how these sub-humans get their heads through the door ..
even though their heads are empty .
Traitor
“Iowa feels more like Indiana more than any other state in the nation,” Pence told voters in Des Moines late last month.
“Except for whatever state I happen to be in and lying to at the moment!”
“Of all my audiences, you are, by far, the most recent.”
Hello Boston !!! What? we’re in Topeka?
Kamala wants you for her speech writer – fabulous
Mr. Cellophane.
Fifteen days to flatten the curve Pence: the January 6 anti-hero. He will get nothing from MAGA and nothing from the fans of RdS. A few evangelicals in Iowa? This is not 2012 anymore.
Was anyone there to see it?
Just another politician diluting the Desantis vote.
See what?
Love that!
He has sissy bar on his scooter
By the end of the Kamela Harris Admin … that will be deemed HATE speech and your internet connection will be unplugged
Is there any neocon non-entity left who hasn’t entered the race?
The Krying Kuck Little Adam Kinzinger.
Most of the Congress and most of the Senate, and most of the Governors, and most of the ex-Congress, and most of the ex-Senate, and most of the ex-Governors have not announced…and yet there’s still too many Communists who have announced…imho
Nobody is left. Nobody just entered the race.
What’s Carly Fiorina up to these days?
Judas Pence might as well take his 30 pieces of silver and go to the non-extradition country of his choice. He and his entire family need to be run out of this country.
He ‘s my guy. He knows all the Uniparty secret handshakes and Democommunist elbow bumps. The thought of having an actual “Karen” as First Lady is exciting.
Pence is passionately hated by Americans what the hell is he thinking ?
Apparently he thinks Evangelicals are easily duped morons eager for more betrayal.
Pence uses religion as a shield to hide his corruption and filth behind. He’s a deep state traitor to the core.
Many of them are unfortunately
He’s not a Christian. A Christian wouldn’t attend parties with people who fund abortion.
I really think Mike Pence has done much worse than that, but we’ll probably never know for sure.
It’s either about payments or delegates.
He could be laughed out of the race by Labor Day.
Can we push it up to the 4th of July?
Father’s Day is in 2 weeks.
?
😀
How flag Day?
I took a DNA test. god is my father. I wonder where pence stands with that?
Have established in my own mind that we need a Take No Prisoners leader.
Donald Trump is the only candidate I see that possibly has that attitude.
I say this with hope, as it has certainly been the case that his desire to accommodate and/or build bridges with the GOPe has, at times, infuriated me. His endorsements need, indeed must, undertake a tougher test of actual MAGA. Nonetheless, the others appear as simply marionettes for the Swamp theatre.
Donald Trump has nothing but the future of the country at stake in a second term. Others would be speculating about the future for themselves. Judas Pence would simply be laughable, if he were not such a corrosive snake.
Another Unibot joins the 1% cast for the big 2024 Election Show.
Pence. Mike Pence. Whattaguy. His entry announcement is proof of how detached he is from normal reality. Delusional.
Pence: “The answer to the question absolutely no one has asked.”
Here’s his campaign slogan. Spread it far and wide.
More proof elections that are critical to the preservation of the Uniparty swamp are not determined by the electorate any longer.
The more we participate in the process the more obvious and transparent it appears.
“I will totally obliterate the deep state”

Good rebuttal to Comey’s lies and hypocracy!
The Fly has to get a piece of the Pie!
probably first to drop out….
I would post my exact thoughts on Pence, but this is a family friendly website.
The sooner he crawls back under a rock the better.
Lord of the Flies enters the race. Maggots to follow.
I saw Pence quoted as saying MAGA populism needs to be defeated with a return to traditional conservatism (sic). So he’s openly running against what he ran on and was elected in 2016? What a clown. And Trump is not a populist. His policies are aimed at improving the economy for the benefit of all, not just the middle/lower class.
Oh, I needed a good laugh today!
Old ‘snake eyes’ has entered the race. …hissss…
Any evangelical who stands with Judas 30 Pence is not a true believer and, certainly, is not a student of the Bible.
I guess that God wants to expose “those Christians”.
Pence has the charisma and energy of a cardboard cutout.
Hey I like my wife’s John Wayne cardboard cutout .
Who is giving spineless Mike Pence his marching orders?
His wife.
His wife, whom Mike Pence calls “Mother.”
Well bless his heart.
Are you from the South?
Why yes, yes I am. 😉
Well said WeeWeed
😉
So we got Derino Ronny with an anti wokeness platform and traitor Pence running on an anti constitution platform. This republic is completely off the rails.
Exactly what does Sununu have against a thriving economy, energy independence, lowest unemployment numbers, no new wars, happy American people? When Trump was in office that’s what we had. So Sununu is apparently anti-American. They’re just coming out of the woodwork now….little scum-sucking leeches.
All those good American qualities create an independent people who suddenly think for themselves…and are not controlled by government.
You know, I hate all these Republican candidates, who are only in it because they’re hoping the Democrats law fare against President Trump will be successful. I am hoping that eventually Trump will sit down with DeSantis, mend fences and form a winning alliance to take back this country….
Not practically possible. Trump would have to freeze him out completely, exclude him from all executive function, like they used to do.
He might as well run with Pence as DeSantis. The same puppeteers control them both.
Are you serious? Betrayed Trump at his time of need in MAL; and no gratitude for helping with the governorship.
And RDS taking Sea Island club multinational anti-MAGA money and using a DS (probable CIA asset) agent as a campaign manager.
Is the first post you’ve read on this site ever? Even today?
Almost no one gives two turds about DeSantis in MAGA world. Persona non grata!
Go tell Ron and his cronies that the latest influencing attempt on this site has gone awry AGAIN, please.
Mr “born on the eight day” DeSantis is a snake. Who changes election laws to benefit themselves? Demonic democrats. Who changes laws to hide their travel and visitors logs? Demonic democrats. So what does that say about Mr “born on the eight day” DeSantis? And besides he is very rude and arrogant.
DeSantis is just another Pence, Bush, Romney, Cruz
He knows he has no chance to win. what is his point???
He looks like a clown in motorcycle gear. Actually, he is a clown in motorcycle gear. Loser.
Us bikers have a saying , new leather don’t smell right.
Put some side by side shots of him on the motorcycle and Dukakis in the tank.
Then run a tape of Howard Dean’s YEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAA! Give the world
a mild view of how we really feel.
Pence is in because he expects Trump to be taken off the chess board. He will get booed off any stage involving real voters.
The dude is a traitor, plain and simple. We now know for certain that the FBI and IC directly interfered in to 2020 election. The results should not have been certified.
I have always thought the 2020 steal was spearheaded by deep-state agencies (many of them, not just the DOJ and FBI). They created the strategy(s) and they protected the actors executing the plans. Trying to bury the Hunter Biden stuff along with “the big guy” connection was part of protecting the overall 2020 election strategy. When the story got too big to bury, they lied about it to discredit the folks producing the proof.
The RNC was also involved in the 2020 steal and I’d bet you a bunch of dough many elected republicans knew what was happening behind the curtain. 2016 could not happen again, not ever. Do whatever it takes.
It won’t get better in 2024. Look what they did in 2022. Electing Fetterman was a taunt. They control nearly all Senate outcomes and they absolutely control nationwide results for POTUS.
DOA – DO NOT RESUSCITATE
Ha ha ha ha hee hee heh heh heh ha ha!
I would like to remind all Treepers…and Hoosiers are kind of quiet….
There is a brother who is in “the House”, elected from a district in or near Indianapolis….(maybe the brother is not a RINO type and actually does his job)…but keep an eye on that one too….
Too many family dynasties…..
Judas Pence. No thank you.
The rats are crawling out of the woodwork because they believe Trump will be sidelined due to multiple indictments.
Will be a frosty day in hell before MAGA voters back 30 Pence. Judas!
You got your book deal Mike, what, you think you’ve got more coming? You’ll be used like a teenager uses his tube socks.
If a disgraced ex VP announces his run for President in a crowded forest of also-rans … does it even make a sound?
I can’t even stand to look at him.
Mike will be happier than a Camel on (a) Wednesday.
Mike…..Mike….Mike…….Mike……Guess what day it is…….whoop whoop!
There’s apparently a LOT of money and high-level positions to be had when the “I’m running for POTUS with no chance of winning” game concludes.
Exactly. Now and forever more he will be referred to as former VP and “former presidential candidate” on his calling card when he shows up to collect some outrageous speaking fees at remote no-name universities. It matters not that he will never survive the primaries. It’s all about the $$$.
And “Traitor Emeritus.”
🥱…. Zzz…
The last of the one percenters?
Did he have the 1%er patch on his vest riding his mom Harley the other day??
Pence, after his first rally: “I didn’t know that bottomless hole was there.”
