Mike Pence Suspends Presidential Campaign
Former Vice President Bows Out of Race
Former Vice President Mike Pence has announced that he will not endorse Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election. Pence made the announcement in a statement released on Thursday, March 9, 2023. In the statement, Pence said that he "cannot support Donald Trump in the 2024 election." Pence's decision is a major setback for Trump, who has been relying on Pence's endorsement to help him win the Republican nomination.
Pence's Statement
In his statement, Pence said that he "cannot support Donald Trump in the 2024 election" because he believes that Trump "is not fit to be president." Pence cited Trump's "attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election" and his "ongoing attacks on our democracy" as reasons for his decision.
Pence's decision is a major blow to Trump's presidential campaign. Pence is a well-respected figure within the Republican Party, and his endorsement would have been a major boost for Trump. Without Pence's support, Trump will have a much harder time winning the Republican nomination.
Pence's Future
It is unclear what Pence's future holds. He has not ruled out running for president in 2024, but he has also said that he is "taking time to consider his options." It is possible that Pence will decide to run for president as an independent candidate, but it is also possible that he will decide to retire from politics.
