(AFP, Las Vegas, 28th) Former US Vice President and Republican presidential candidate Mike Pence announced today that he would withdraw from the US presidential election. He also said, “Now is not the time for me to run.” .
Agence France-Presse reported that Pence is the first candidate to announce his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election. “It has become clear that it is not my time to run for office,” he announced today at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual meeting in Las Vegas.
“After much prayer and thought, I have decided to suspend my presidential campaign,” he said.
Pence and most of his rivals are vying for the Republican nomination in next year’s presidential election, but with former President Donald Trump’s overwhelming lead, they have little chance of getting ahead.
Trump has weathered scandals and two impeachments and is currently facing multiple criminal prosecutions, but he still enjoys the support of diehard fans within his party.
Pence is an establishment figure. He became a target of disdain from fans of his former boss Trump because he refused to overturn the results of the 2020 election that Trump falsely claimed to have won.
