Former US Vice President Mike Pence presented this Monday the necessary documentation to be a candidate for the 2024 presidential electionsreported the Federal Electoral Commission. In this way it is confirmed that he will compete in the primaries of the Republican party with his former ally Donald Trump, whom he seconded in his time in the White House.
Pence is scheduled to officially announce his candidacy next Wednesday at an event in Iowa, one of the key primary states, after months of speculation about his possible participation in the fight for the Republican nomination.
The leader was a close ally of Trump during the four years in office, but their collaboration was cut short as a result of the then-president’s allegations of electoral fraud, dismissed in all judicial instances. Pence did not join Trump in denouncing him. The relationship also broke down because the former president claimed that Pence had not adjourned the session in which the Senate ratified Joe Biden’s victory in the elections.
In addition to Trump and Pence, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley are on the long list of Republican candidates. The polls place Trump at the head of the Republican preference with 53 percent, followed by DeSantis who reaches 26 percent. In a modest third place is Pence with 6 percent.
