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)
Yawn.
Amen to that, Brother!!! Trad Estab RNC Repubs make me sick. Bolshevik democRats make me vomit.
I Spit. genearly.substack.com
Mike who?
mike….. who re!!!???
Mike Iscariot.
30Pence.
Mike I shit my pence
Mike, aka Khyron the Backstabber.
Mike the Traitor
These candidates never come to Iowa to speak to the citizens. They are always doing luncheons and meetings with political operatives and donors. We will see how much influence the establishment Republicans have in Iowa. Ordinary people can’t stand Pence.
Yeah, good freaking luck, traitor Mike! A lot of us haven’t forgotten that the main reason we’re in this mess is because you have no spine! You could have held off on seating those electors.
We should have paid more attention when God sent that fly to warn us about your TRUE character – the swampy, duplicitous one you hide behind your smarmy, faux-Christian façade!
Actually, Pence was NOT able hold the seating of the electors off. The change in rules was because of the “bomb” scare, which was planned for just that reason, and piglooser was the architect of that move, and pence appeared to be aware of it, so maybe in on the plan?
Def in on the plan
Of course, he was in on the plan. He knew that they had prepared a way for him to weasel out.
Please stop! There are not enough pages to write how dirty that filth is. Number one. I cannot stand a man who stands behind religion to vouch for his honor. His honor should vouch for his beliefs, and they do. He has only one, himself.
You are right there is little that Pence could do to slow down or stop the process. He could only preside over the procedure. Pence may have been aware there was a plot to steal the election from Trump but given the extent of the conspiracy there was little he could do to stop it. Pence had nothing to gain by being part of the conspiracy, so I don’t believe he was part of it. Pence would have been better positioned politically if Trump had won the election.
The major tactical error was having the rally in DC on the 6th of Jan. It was a major error on Trump’s part and I am sure there was no way Pence could have talked Trump out of holding the rally once he made his mind up. The democrats were able to use the rally to set up their “insurrection” narrative that short circuited any legal or legislative maneuvers to challenge to the election results. I have heard some Republican’s had a plan to introduce something that would have opened the door for legal challenges in the near future.
I actually thought about going to the rally but decided the whole thing smelled like a trap to me and backed out of going. Unfortunately this time my instincts were right.
YAWN____excuse the traitor, criticize President Trump…double yawn, Sheesh.
It was not a case of whether 30 Pieces of Silver Pence had a spine, though rather, whether he ever had a soul.
Judas. What information does the FBLie have on you? Betrayal is not a quality a President should have.
Pence…..spit on the ground when you say that name pardner.
Questions mr. Pence:
-What was given to you in a handshake on J6?
-Why was if given to you?
-What was the meaning of it?
-It seems that it was a reward; payment, a gift.
Was it a gift?
-Why were you gifted a coin or token?
-Did you keep it
Or
-Did you give it to the National Archives?
-Did you betray President Donal J Trump when you served as HIS Vice President?
-Did you betray Americans?
-Are you a traitor to the USA?
Correction;
-Did you betray
President Donald J Trump when you served
as HIS
Vice President ?
He betrayed the United States.
He should run w Piggy Lizzie
Yes he did
When Pence went to Korea he screwed up President Trump’s efforts let peace break out in that area. This was either deliberate or incompetent (as with General Flynn and cleaning up voting processes and the Covid nightmare)
So No Thank You Mike Pence. Lots of suffering resulted from his attempts at holiness. We all fall short of the glory of God but you hope leaders will bring peace and prosperity, not bungle us into WWIII etc.
I don’t know where to place this on the funny to sad scale. Maybe throw in pathetic and put in a Venn diagram.
Can’t figure out Pence’s game. Won’t be Pres, won,t be vice president, but uniparty always has a reason.
Ultimate insider to bash Trump during the primaries.
Generates a donor list for the RNC once he drops out – especially if he still plays well with the evangelicals.
His reward could be Ambassador to England or something like that.
I don’t think he can last more than 5 min in the primary.
If those pedo rumors have any truth to them, the electric chair
ITS IS CALL MAPS NOW, GET IT RIGHT!!!/S
To take evangelicals away from Trump. Also to tell all kinds of lies about the Trump admin. He’s not in it to win it. Then he rides off with the leftover campaign cash after he suspends his campaign at some point after the first few primaries.
IMHO, this has nothing to do with Pence, or any of the other 1 percenter’s “presidential ambitions”. The only reason they are running is because they have been promised that they will be paid handsomely if they make it to the debates and do what they can to make Trump look bad. That’s it. They don’t expect to win. Hell most of them probably wouldn’t want to win. What they want is to get paid by TPTB to ensure that Trump loses.
WIll trade barbs with Rob Meatball to make Rob look like ‘strong,’ and ‘conservative,’ while avoiding Trump head on.
If all the other sure losers focus their barbs at Rob, he must be the best. Right? /s
I can’t wait for the Pence, Haley, Scott, Christie debate. Should be fascinating. /sarcasm off/
Biggest coward in the history of our Republic.
He’s got nothing on the other Mike P. in that category.
Now in theatres… Revenge Of The Nerds V: Mike’s Big Day
And the reviews are in!!!
“I struggled to sit through this one all the way.”
“To be honest, probably the dumbest movie I’ve seen in a long time. And I’ve seen some dumb ones, let me tell you!”
“Well… the popcorn weren’t bad!”
Please clap.
Judas Pence.
I don’t know that Sundance allows it, so I won’t post it, but after the 2020 election, I wrote a three successive articles on Pence. Back in 2016, when he was chosen, I was on the phone with Roger Stone and was so disappointed they had chosen loser Pence. Roger said, “Well at least it wasn’t Newt Gingrich,” but now I’m thinking Newt might have been a shade better than this dullard.
I read every book I could get my hands on about Pence and contacted my cousins in northern Indiana as well as politically tied friends. All of them said they were so angry at him that they were not going to vote for him for a second term as governor. I had so much info I knew it wouldn’t fit in one article, so I wrote it all.
Remember too that Pence is a Koch org boyo, just like Kellyanne Conway. They are close friends and between the two brought in 44 other Koch people in Trump’s administration. I knew the two of them weren’t allowing information to get to our President and my contacts, Mike Flynn and Corey Lewandowsky were both gone.
What so many don’t know is that the Koch brothers, Charles and David (the latter deceased) both promote a Constitutional Convention, are pro-aborts, pro-open borders, pro-gay marriage, pro-UN Agenda 21/30, and masquerade as conservatives. (I’m sure Sundance has probably written about this as well.)
My friend Janet has asked me to make bullet points out of the 3 articles to pass out to anyone who seems to like this dirtbag, but I haven’t yet gotten to it.
But yes, there’s the crux, Pence is an enemy of the people, and he stabbed Trump in the back and the Republic in the heart on January 6, 2021. And he did it on purpose.
Remember that clip of Chris Miller thanking Pence for something about the most “complex military operation in history”? What was that about anyway?
Wow, the real Kelleigh Nelson . For anyone that isn’t familiar with Kelleigh, she is one of the best of the best writing for NWV (NewswithViews), one of the best websites ever when it comes to brilliant articles about politics and the best part is none are libtards.
Pence also high fived Pelosi after he stabbed Trump in the back and America in the heart .
I would advise everybody to go and check out Kelleigh’s article archive , truly brilliant stuff .
It was an elbow bump seen around the world!
More pretending. 🙄
I almost feel sorry for the people who keep falling for this pretending. It must be exhausting!
Good news is Pence will suck votes away from DeSantis in Iowa.
So 30 Pence is another Koch sucker.
What a loser.
Yeah, but he looked so milquetoast bad ass riding in on his bike. Maybe Pete taught him how to ride.
Mike Pence is delusional. What alternate universe does he live in ? ! What substances is this traitor using ?
Substances: 1,000,000 milligrams of ego, daily megadoses of pretense, and a regular I.V infusion of I’ll do what the Deep State tells me to do.
He has a groundswell of support or is that just the earth opening up to swallow him.
Just read an article that said the GOP guv of North Dakota is going to run.
Betrayal.
DeSaster and Pence both betrayed President Trump.
I feel confident saying they would have no
qualms betraying America.
They both have no honor and are therefore sellouts.
Fool me once – Shame on you
Fool me twice -Shame on me
As all good CTH readers know, Pence is quite the d33p stat3 RINO scumbag.
Who’s Mike??🤷
Watched Tom Bevan pop in to Newsmax this afternoon and pontificate on Pence putting in…to paraphrase:
“For the life of me, I just don’t get it”
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
This is like a fungus growing on a pile of damp horse manure.
Those actually serve a purpose by breaking down much of the nitrogen in the horse apples before it washes into the aquifer..;)
The deep state told him that if he screwed Trump and all of us they would install him and he believed them.
Who??
Convenient the DOJ just happened to clear him in time for his announcement.
Good point
Et tu?
This is hilarious. He’s either tone deaf or delusional
Well Biden and Harris did get installed over actual popular candidates. This is “Our Democracy” (TM) where actual
Voters don’t matter
I think Pence may get a bump from 3% to 3% (no change) once he announces. Just sayin’….
On a bright note, he’ll serve to further split the anti-Trump vote.
Pence has less than zero chance, and he knows it.
Any guess why he’s wasting his and others’ money? Maybe he needs some tax write-offs?
Professional consulting class PAC fundraising to make money.
Yawn.
Judas “30” Pence
Another complicit turncoat
RINO Traitor!
You are so disconnected from the conservative voter.
Are you hoping that you can grab a totalitarian teat to suck?
I know that it is not in his nature to avoid a fight, but I really do hope that President Trump decides to just skip the republican debates. The RNC is setting him up for hours of nationally televised abuse from a crowd ankle biters. It will be like watching him have to kick his way through a pack of angry dachshunds. It’s beneath him, and there is nothing to be gained by it.
I’ve seen better turds flushed down the toilet! He’d fit the Democrat field to a Tee!
Cruz
Santorum
Huckabee
Which one of those won the presidency?
Just checking….
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Indiana wants me – Lord, I can’t go back there…
Is this a joke ?
We all know he is a Traitor and a Loser
Yes, I know the FULL MOON is wanning, but still the loonies are on the loose.
Wasn’t he in charge of the Covid response?
I sure do hope Traitor Pence ends up with egg on his face. He’s such an ugly human being.
What do Atticus Jem and Scout think?
Boo had more presence behind the door.
Absolutely brilliant.
I wouldn’t trust Pence to bust up a chifforobe
Guessing they would think he’s a Bluejay pretending to be a Mockingjay.
We all know the truth though. He’s no Mockingjay.
He is of the species “avius excretus” …. Latin for sh!tbird.
Judas
The fly has landed.
