Recent polling shows Trump as the front-runner for his party's nomination, but many analysts have floated the possibility of Pence or Florida's GOP Governor Ron DeSantis as strong potential challengers.įormer Vice President Mike Pence appears to be positioning himself to launch a 2024 presidential run regardless of former President Donald Trump's plans, according to analysts. Although Trump has not confirmed plans to run in the next presidential election, he has repeatedly hinted that he aims to seek another White House term. Some Republican strategists and lawmakers have grown increasingly concerned about Trump's viability in 2024 amid the public hearings of the House select committee investigating the events of Januthat have featured what many view as damning testimony. The former vice president has also been filling his schedule with more events in recent weeks. That endorsement from the vice president came after he has already opposed Trump's preferred candidates in several other high profile primary races ahead of the midterm.įurthermore, CNN reported on Thursday that some GOP lawmakers encouraged Pence to throw his hat in the ring for the party's 2024 nomination as he spoke to a meeting of the conservative Republican Study Committee caucus in Congress this week. Pence endorsed Karrin Taylor Robson in Arizona Republican primary gubernatorial race this week after Trump previously endorsed Kari Lake. Speculation is mounting that former Vice President Mike Pence plans to run for president in 2024 regardless of former President Donald Trump's ambitions as GOP lawmakers are reportedly encouraging him to run-although polls continue to show Trump as the frontrunner for the Republican Party's nomination.
