Mike Pence launches his 2024 GOP presidential bid
‘I believe in the American people’: Mike Pence launches his 2024 GOP presidential nominee with video highlighting how his Irish immigrant family has lived the American dream and attacks on ‘Biden and the radical left’ for weakening America at home and abroad
Mike Pence has launched his bid for the Republican party’s 2024 presidential nomination with an emotional video, making him the first vice president in modern history to run against his former running mate.
The clip, posted to his Twitter account Wednesday morning, shows his Irish immigrant family living out the American dream, as he takes aim at President Joe Biden and the radical left for weakening the country at home and abroad.
“I believe in the American people and I have faith that God is not done with America yet. Together we can bring this country back, and the best days for the greatest nation on Earth are yet to come! #Pence2024,” he wrote on Twitter along with the video.
Pence pins his presidential hopes on Iowa as he officially launches a campaign for the Republican nomination in Des Moines later today.
Pence and his advisers see Iowa — the state that will cast the first votes of the GOP nomination calendar — as key to his possible path to the nomination.

The caucus’ members include a large portion of the Evangelical Christian electorate, whom they see as a natural constituency for Pence.
They also think Pence, who represented Indiana in Congress and as governor, is a good persona befitting the state in the Midwest.
His campaign will also test the party’s appetite for a socially conservative, soft-spoken and deeply religious candidate who has denounced the populist tide that swept his party under former President Donald Trump.
And it will show whether Pence still has a political future after January 6, 2021, with a large portion of GOP voters still believing Trump’s unproven claims that the 2020 election was stolen and that Pence had the power to control the reject results.
