Former US Vice President Mike Pence.
[China News Agency]Former US Vice President Pence announced in Iowa on the 7th local time that he will participate in the 2024 presidential election.
Pence delivered a speech of about 30 minutes in (Ankeny, Iowa) that day, officially announcing his participation in the 2024 presidential election. In his speech, Pence pointed the “spearhead” at his rival, former President Trump.
Pence said that when the riots on Capitol Hill occurred, Trump “wrongly insisted” that the vice president could overturn the election results. Trump “made me choose between him and the Constitution, and I chose the Constitution.” No one should be President of the United States who is above the Constitution.” Pence also said that Trump has abandoned conservative values, such as opposition to abortion.
Pence also said that the current American politics is full of “anger and complaints” and that public life in this country “needs to be restored to a certain degree of civility.”
According to US media reports, Pence is a conservative in the Republican Party. He supports a nationwide ban on abortion, cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and continued military aid to Ukraine.
