Former Vice President Mike Pence will launch his campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination on June 7 in Des Moines, Iowa, a source familiar with his plans confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Pence will announce with a speech and a campaign video, the source confirmed. His kickoff speech will be followed by a campaign tour across all of Iowa’s 99 counties, according to NBC News, who first reported the announcement.
Pence, 63, would be the eighth candidate to enter the race, which already includes former President Donald Trump, his former running mate in 2016 and 2020, and Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, among others.
Pence served as Trump’s vice president for four years but entered a major disagreement with him about the 2020 presidential election, which Trump claimed was stolen. After Pence refused to his role to influence Congress’s certification of the vote, Trump said that he committed “political suicide.”
Pence currently polls at 3.8% support for the nomination, on average, according to RealClearPolitics.
