Pence reemerges, lays groundwork for 2024 run

[left-of-center2012]

The former vice president is steadily reentering public life as he eyes a potential run for the White House in 2024. He’s joining conservative organizations, writing op-eds, delivering speeches and launching an advocacy group that will focus on promoting the Trump administration’s accomplishments.

But Trump’s neglect in mentioning Pence during a podcast interview earlier this month signals the former vice president’s unique challenge. For someone who built a reputation as one of Trump’s most steadfast supporters, Pence is now viewed with suspicion among many Republicans for observing his constitutional duty in January to facilitate a peaceful transfer of power to the Biden administration, a decision that still has Trump fuming.

To prevail in a Republican presidential primary, Pence may have to reinforce his loyalty to Trump while defending his decisions during the final days of the administration when the president falsely alleged widespread voter fraud, contributing to a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.

1. Good luck.

Most of Trump's base views him as a traitor and will never vote for him.

3. Still just really doesn't get that Trump to have him offed by mob violence does he?

4. God, I hope he runs. That'll further split that dumpster fire of a party.

If Pence thinks the "hang, Mike Pence" sentiment is forgotten, he's crazy.
