Key takeaways:
- Mike Pence is set to launch his 2024 presidential campaign next week in Des Moines, Iowa.
- Pence had previously told CBS News that anyone “serious” about seeking the Republican nomination would need to enter the contest by June.
- With Pence’s announcement of his 2024 presidential bid, it appears that the former Vice President is ready to make his voice heard.
Former Vice President Mike Pence is set to launch his 2024 presidential campaign next week in Des Moines, Iowa, according to multiple sources. Pence is expected to make the announcement on Wednesday, June 7, with a speech and campaign video.
The former Vice President had previously told CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa on “Face the Nation” in April that anyone “serious” about seeking the Republican nomination would need to enter the contest by June.
In the same interview, Pence said that more and more people have been telling him there is room for his brand of “traditional conservatism” in the Republican Party.
The Biden White House and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) recently settled a deal over the weekend to ransom the debt ceiling hostage in exchange for some GOP legislative priorities. However, Donald Trump has remained largely silent on the debt ceiling.
As my colleague Josh Marshall spelled out earlier, there is one very loud voice that is notably absent from this conversation. With Pence’s announcement of his 2024 presidential bid, it appears that the former Vice President is ready to make his voice heard.
