This time, Pence is hoping Republican voters will vote for themselves, not Trump or any other party’s nominee.
But a nationwide poll of Republicans shows Trump is still well ahead of other nominees despite battling a string of criminal charges. In second place was Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. That’s about 30% less than Trump’s vote, while the other nominees have an average popularity rating of about 5%.
Reports say Pence will officially announce his candidacy on Wednesday. That coincides with her 64th birthday in Iowa, where the Republican Party will begin the caucus primaries. This is a process where voters will travel to gather at the polling station to meet and discuss and Which candidates will be chosen openly? And which candidate would you like to send to the US presidential nomination this year? and on this occasion He will also choose a delegation to attend the party’s general meeting.
Pence plans to campaign heavily in the state. by raising the “conservative Christian and members of the Republican Party” banner in the hope of gaining support from anti-abortion Christians and conservatives.
