Mike Pence to Declare Candidacy for US Presidency
Former US Vice President Mike Pence is reportedly set to announce his candidacy for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination. Pence is expected to make the announcement during a speech in Iowa on June 7, marking the start of his campaign ahead of the 2024 presidential elections. Pence, who served under former President Donald Trump, will be seeking to rival his ex-boss for the nomination. Despite his popularity, current polls reveal that 56 percent of Republicans support Trump, while Pence’s support stands at just 5 percent. Other Republican candidates include Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, while for the Democrats, President Joe Biden, RFK’s nephew Robert F Kennedy Jr, and writer Marianne Williamson have already announced their candidacy.
