Overview

  • Former Vice President Mike Pence pulled out of the 2024 Presidential race after struggling to gain traction with Republican voters and facing financial difficulties with his campaign.
  • Even among evangelical voters in Iowa, Pence's support had dwindled to just 1%, leading to dwindling attendance at his campaign events.
  • Participation in the certification of the 2020 Presidential Election results following the January 6 riots, sparked resentment among Trump supporters that proved detrimental to Pence's campaign.
  • When announcing the suspension of his campaign, Pence called for a Republican candidate that upheld 'civility', indirectly criticizing former President Trump's polarizing leadership style.
  • Despite fundraising controversies with Pence's campaign owing $620,000 and having only $1.2 million cash in hand, Trump remains the leading contender among Republican voters for the 2024 Presidential Race.
