Making an announcement at the Republican Jewish Conference in Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon (EST), former US Vice President has withdrawn from the 2024 Presidential race.
Though he didn’t reveal his exact reason for the withdrawal during his closing remarks at the Conference, in which he was seen as endorsing Israel’s war on Gaza, rumours about him facing lack of funds for his campaign being the reason are in the air.
Mike Pence, the dutiful deputy of Former President Donald Trump, was competing in this Presidential race of 2024 with other GOP members, forming the primary pool. They included Vivek Ramaswamy, Ron DeSantis amongst others.
Though Pence served in the tenure for Vice President from 2017- 2021 under Donald Trump’ s Presidency, he refused to adhere to his Boss’s demand of overturning the 2020 Election results.
Trump even described him as one who “lacks courage”.
When he announced his Presidential run around four months ago, he said, “I and my family, are fortunate enough to serve this wonderful country. And with this gratitude, I am announcing before God and my family that I will run for Presidential elections of America.”
However, his words took a complete u-turn when he is reported to have said during the conference on the Saturday afternoon (EST), that “It’s not my time now.”
A mikepence2024.com domain was also created specifically for raising funds and other campaign purposes for the Presidential elections. It allowed donors to contribute for his campaigns by the tagline of, ‘Unleash America’s Future’. As per se, it might be the case that he didn’t receive many contributions for his campaign and decided to withdraw from the race.
While it may be an exciting news for other GOP Candidates running for the Presidential race, however, a potential winning candidate, Mike Pence, renouncing this race may have several repercussions for the Republican Party and Donald Trump’s dream of beating incumbency in 2024 Elections.
