Here’s what happened…
Former Vice President Mike Pence has announced his official candidacy for the top position, running against former President Donald Trump. During his campaign launch for the 2024 election, Pence strategically took a cheap shot at Trump and conveyed a veiled message intended for his supporters from his previous alliance with Trump.
After months of speculation surrounding his potential candidacy against former President Trump for the Republican nomination, Mike Pence officially commenced his campaign for the Oval Office on Wednesday.
According to Newsweek, in addition to challenging former President Trump, the former vice president, Mike Pence, also aimed a critique at Trump’s supporters during his campaign launch. He emphasized that he fulfilled his constitutional responsibility by refraining from obstructing the certification of the electoral college votes on January 6, 2021, as a reminder to the American people.

Prior to January 6, there was significant pressure exerted by Trump on Pence to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election and prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s victory by Congress. Despite Trump’s insistence, Pence chose not to comply, which led to a hostile reaction from a group of Trump supporters.
Trump has maintained his refusal to forgive Pence for his decision not to obstruct the certification process, persistently criticizing his former running mate for actions taken more than two years ago.
