Mike Pence runs for US president

Former US Vice President Pence filed his candidacy, starting the 2024 White House race as a Republican candidate.

Former US President Mike Pence's campaign filed its election paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on June 6, marking the start of his 2024 White House bid.

Former President Pence will launch his campaign with a video announcement and speech in Iowa on June 7, his 64th birthday, three sources familiar with the situation said earlier.

Mr. Pence plans to campaign in all 99 counties of Iowa, while his campaign will do everything to help the former US vice president have an advantageous position.

Mike Pence served for decades in the US House of Representatives and four years as governor of Indiana before serving as vice president under former President Donald Trump. Mike Pence has long been considered one of the voices of the Republican Party.

When he enters the race for the White House, Mr. Pence will face many challenges in the Republican primary selection round with a series of formidable opponents. The rift with former President Donald Trump after the Capitol Hill riot in January 2021 may also cause many people to turn their backs on him.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie also announced his candidacy, bringing the total number of Republican candidates to over 10. The large number of candidates has made many of Mr. Trump's opponents worry that the vote will be divided, leading to the former US president winning the Republican nomination.
