Former Vice President Mike Pence said Saturday he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.
He made the shock announcement in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday during the Republican Jewish Coalition Annual Leadership Summit as GOP candidates gathered to speak to this voting bloc.
Pence said it became increasingly clear that he could not win the Republican nomination.'You know, we always knew this would be an uphill battle. But I have no regrets,' Pence assured.
He added: 'The only thing that would have been harder than coming up short, would have been if we never tried at all.'

Perhaps someone at the Pizza Ranch made a suggestion.

So, what was your first clue, Mikey? Did someone tell you to check out lucianne.com for what people really think of you? How many thousands will you carry home with you from your election account. Oh, wait. I think I read you were $650,000 in the hole. Feel sorry for the ones who won't get their bills paid.

Was Pence ever in the race? I thought he was just there to talk bad about Trump.

He never had a lane to the nomination. It was a waste of time, money and effort.

Life is a series of decisions, many of which hardly matter, and a few that have profound consequences. Mikey made several very bad decisions, among them wimping out on January 6th, and they'll haunt him for the rest of his days

Like Christie, it’s just a method to collect some cash. Not much cash in their case, but they are no longer employed and hopefully won’t be for some time.

Glad he finally threw in the towel. Mike Pence, besides being a backstabber, failed completely at the few jobs he was given: head the transition team (couldn't get nominees through in a timely manner), work on election integrity (he said states wouldn't cooperate with him), and then chair the covid task force (nuff said). He has absolutely no rhetorical skills whatsoever, he's boring and oozes phoniness. This resignation speech today is an excellent example.
"Second lady" has the sads - who ever came up with the brilliant idea to give the Vice President's wife a title - probably Karen Pence herself.
Good riddance to both of them.

For once the prayerful Pence was right when he said the he could not win. As if he did the nasty Democrats would have immediately stomped him into the gutter.

He announced: 'So after much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president, effective today.'
Didn't he get into the race after much prayer and deliberation? God must have changed His Mind.

Pence has been a useful idiot for the liberals and RINOs. He has never had the fortitude to carry out Conservative policy and is too timid to deal with liberal attacks. He would be a pathetic president and everyone knew it except apparently Pence himself.

Maybe he can stump for Christie. Or head over to the criminal media bastids and spread some toxic ugliness to a hungry audience. Memorable career there, Mike.

In better days, heard Pence speak in person a couple of times.
I thought he sounded pretty good.
Then he failed to step up and confront the vote fraudsters on Jan 6th, and instead stabbed President Trump in the back.
After he did that, I have no use for the guy.

Pence dropped out? (shrugs) He wasn't going to fix anything. The mess is too great.
I ask myself who has the best chance to fix America's problems and the answer is Trump. Actually, the answer is nobody, but I would rather stay positive.

Apparently, Pence thought himself more qualified than the rest of us did. Now he is broke AND he looks stupid. Still think you did the right thing on January 6th, Mikey?

NOt to worry Mike. DIaper Joe got less than 1% of the votes the first 30 or 40 times he ran and look at him now. Just stay true to the RINO instincts and Anti-Trump policies. Ignore the voters and watch the Kneepad media and Dem voter fraud bail you out.

You have to wonder what wimpy Republicans recommended Pence to Trump in the first place?
