Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence has left the door open to a possible candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, where he could face former President Donald Trump in a primary.
«I’m sure we will make a decision in the coming months about what role we could play, either as a national candidate or as a voice for our conservative values,» Pence said during an interview with The Hill.
The former vice president of Trump has reactivated in recent months his agenda and, on the occasion of the past midterm elections, has visited several states where the Republican primaries will be held first.
«In the coming months we will continue to travel,» said Pence, who has recently emerged as a figure critical of Trump by denouncing the pressures exerted by the former president to try to challenge the outcome of the 2020 elections and stop the proclamation of Joe Biden.
In the event that Pence finally presents his candidacy to the elections, he will face Trump, who in mid-November assured that he would run for a second term and is, for the moment, the only confirmed candidate.
Thus, although he has not entered to evaluate the proposal of his former boss, he has defended that the United States «requires a new leadership». «I am confident that the American people and Republican voters will have better options for 2024,» he said.
