Former Vice President Mike Pence is dropping anchor in South Carolina as he prepares to mount a 2024 White House bid.
Pence is headed back to the Palmetto State in April and May as part of a deliberate strategy to build support with conservative activists and Republican operatives in the state that hosts the third primary on the GOP nominating calendar — and first in the South. Leading this effort is the plugged-in national Republican strategist Chip Saltsman as well as Josh Kimbrell, a state senator described as an “ambassador” for Pence in South Carolina, with other party insiders quietly assisting.

Not voting for him. I am ok with his decision on Jan 6 but he doesn't 'fight' much. We need a fighter. It's either Trump or deSantis for me.

He had his chance and blew it. As a loyal VP for 8 years his chances would have been quite good. But he took himself out on Jan 6.

He is so delusional!!!
Probably using Jeb's advisors, who still think the candidate who spends the most wins.

Pence is a feckless beta-male with no hope of the nomination. He is a RINO embarrassment and must be ridiculed openly.

I put the blame for the border fiasco of drugs, terrorist, rape and child trafficking on Pence. I put the blame for Afghanistan and the murder of 13 Marines, the drone strike on a bus load of kids and the 80 billion dollars of high end American military gear given the terrorist on Pence. The list of debauchery will grow in the coming years and it is all squarely on Pence.

Pence is a career establishment Republican politician who the Democrats would stomp into the gutter in a future general election. Like most establishment Republicans these days Pence comes across as being a weak wimp.

I agree #1. But will add that he seems like ballast, not an engine.
He’s just not an on camera guy. He looks like some guy dancing that really wishes he didn’t have to.
That said, there must be money- or something- in running for president. Running, not winning.

Pence and Ted Cruz can battle it out in a futile contest for top dog, wasting tons of money in the attempt, when far stronger candidates are the obvious winners (Trump, DeSantis, Jim Jordan, and others are far superior).

He's only doing it cause he knows he gets to keep any Presidential campaign donations he'd get and he
bought himself a nice big mansion in Carmel IN. Gotta pay for it somehow...

January 6th is just a small part of why I refuse to vote for Pence. He embraced corruption instead of standing up like a Christian man. You know, like his boss President Trump. There is also strong speculation out there that Pence was the source of all the leaks that were damaging to Trump as well. Never trusted Pence, never will. Cannot trust a man who willingly betrays his nation for a mansion in his home state.

Can Pence spell "milquetoast" because that is what he is.
If Trump doesn't get the nomination, then I'll vote for DeSantis.
Pence is a conservative-enough and pleasant-enough potted plant. That is all.

Dr. Scott Atlas, a real man, and an adviser to President Trump, said when Fauci and Scarf Lady would get angry, Pence would fold like a cheap suit (paraphrasing). That tells me Pence has no spine, no guts, no courage to stand up for the Truth or for our nation. And that's what happened when Pence betrayed Trump about the stolen election. Pence is a frightened little man. Can you imagine what would happen if he was President and China or Russia said Boo?

Looks like Pence has a severe case of egotism/narcissism/delusion... Is this supposed to be funny? Does he truly believe he was right in going along with the big steal and that Republicans (true ones) will support him? He needs to get out of "politics" and see what the real world is like... I believe he couldn/t, at this point, win Dogcatcher... likely never again!

The establishment Republicans and RINOs will push forward anyone other than Trump. This is the same party that nominated Romney and McCain. I like what Trump did for the country and believe 2020 was a massive fraud; however, do I want Trump as the next president? It is a shame that out of this entire country our choices are subpar on so many levels. Will DeSantis run? Who knows! What is becoming obvious is that this country is completely off the rails.

Get your popcorn and beverages at the ready.
It is going to be SO MUCH FUN to watch him be scorned, humiliated, mocked, derided, heckled and made fun of.
American Patriot constitutionalists need to get out in droves and pack every event he hosts.
He's a coward. Remember him at the capitol, oh, Mr. Big shot... bumping elbows with pukelosi, getting a coin for his troubles from I can't remember who, during the rape of the American Republic on January 6, 2021. There's film of it. Check it out.
He's an elitist. He needs to pay for what he did to this country.
Pack his events and humiliate him the entire time.

I agree with poster who basically said Pence is not ready for prime time. He's a back bencher. Colorless. And then there's the fact he fell down on his last job to do as VP. I don't think he is aware of the vitriol that will be thrown at him when he is seriously in the race. If he appears at a venue close to me, I will be there with a sign.

For the sake of argument, if DJT chooses not to run, those eighty million will only look at Pence if Trump points him out. And suburban moms and never Trumpers won’t vote for him.

It's all about support, i.e. campaign contributions. After his actions on January 6th, they'll be mighty hard to come by. If he's foolish enough to announce a run, he'll never make it to the primaries.

One more thing…when Pence was governor of Indiana he signed a freedom of religion bill which was aimed at preventing lawsuits against bakers, photographers, etc who refused to participate in homosexual “weddings” due to their religious beliefs. The LGBTwhatever crowd came after him and he “unsigned” the bill. Never, ever, ever trust him!
