Pence says Trump “shouldn’t be president of the United States.”
Former Vice President Pence kicked off the campaign trail
More and more US Republican politicians want to run against incumbent President Biden. In addition to Trump, DeSantis and former Vice President Pence, Chris Christie is also throwing his hat in the ring.
Republican Mike Pence has officially announced his presidential bid. He criticized his former boss, Donald Trump, in his inaugural speech. He also delivered against Joe Biden and the “far left” at the start of the election campaign.
ZAt the start of his presidential campaign, former US Vice President Mike Pence verbally attacked his strong intra-party rival and former boss, Donald Trump. He accused Trump of endangering himself and his family with his words regarding an attack on the US capital on January 6, 2021. He continued, “The American people deserve to know that on that fateful day, President Trump asked me to choose between me and the Constitution,” Pence said. Now voters will face the same outcome again.
Pence made his candidacy public via video on Wednesday after submitting his application documents to the Election Commission on Monday. Trump will bounce back in 2020 after losing. Pence served as Trump’s deputy in the White House from 2017 to 2021. The presidential election is scheduled to be held on November 5, 2024. An internal party primary determines who the official candidate is. Pence and Trump have a rocky relationship and mixed history.
“Anyone who puts themselves above the Constitution should not be president of the United States,” Pence said, referring to the attack on the US capital. The same thing happens even if you ask someone else to put it above the Constitution. Later in the evening, Pence, who celebrated his 64th birthday on Wednesday, wanted to answer questions from voters during a public question hour on CNN in Iowa.
Cries of “Hang Penns” then came from the mob
Trump supporters stormed the congressional seat on January 6, 2021, while Pence led a bid to ensure Democrat Biden’s victory. Trump had said earlier in the day that Pence could overturn election results in individual states that legal experts and the vice president consider illegal.
During the storming of the Capitol, Trump tweeted that “Pence doesn’t have the guts to do what needs to be done.” A shout of “Hang Penns” came from the crowd. After the attack ended, Congress, led by Pence, confirmed Biden’s victory. Pence later described Trump’s statements and behavior as dangerous.
The app video posted by Pence shows several scenes from Pence’s time as vice president, but he deliberately omits Trump. Instead, as in his speech shortly after, he took aim at US President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats. “Our country is in deep trouble today. President Joe Biden and the far left have weakened America at home and abroad,” Pence said. But God is not done with America yet. Together we can bring the country back to its former glory. “The best days are yet to come for the greatest nation on earth,” he says.
With his announcement, Pence further broadens the field of Republican activists. Prominent among them along with Trump are Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley. Less movement is expected among Democrats. President Biden is up for re-election and is unlikely to face tough competition from within his own ranks on the campaign trail as he remains in office.
Pence supports a nationwide abortion ban
Pence considers himself a classic conservative who wants to return the Republican Party to its roots. He is deeply religious, likes to talk a lot about religion, and cultivates the image of a good civil servant. For Trump, the evangelical Christian covered this important constituency at the time. Pence supports a nationwide ban on abortion, which is critical to many conservatives, especially on the outer fringes. “Different times call for different leadership,” Pence asserts in his video.
In the Republican Party, Trump is leading the field of candidates in the polls. Benz is a long way off at this point. Although he is well-known for his stint as vice president, he has struggled with poor popularity ratings. Over the years, Pence has appeared to be Trump’s loyal companion. More than other vice-presidents before him, he was keen to constantly praise his boss and place him on some kind of pedestal. But in the latest turmoil after the 2020 presidential election, the relationship between the two was permanently damaged.
