On Wednesday, former Vice President Mike Pence posted a video to Twitter announcing the launch of his 2024 campaign for President of the United States.
"The land of opportunity. Beacon of democracy. The shining city on a hill. Land of the free, home of the brave. The United States of America," Pence began in his launch video. "As a son of the heartland, grandson of an Irish immigrant, those aren't just words. My family has lived the American Dream. I had the great honor to serve in Congress, as Governor, and as your Vice President, and I'll always be proud of the progress we made together for a stronger, more prosperous America."
According to Real Clear Politics's polling average, Pence is currently only grabbing 3.8 percent of the Republican vote in a hypothetical primary matchup with 45th President Donald Trump and the rest of the Republican field -- even trailing former South Carolina Governor and Trump UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.
“But today, our country’s in a lot of trouble. President Joe Biden and the radical left have weakened America at home and abroad. The American dream is being crushed under runaway inflation. Wages are dropping. Recession is looming. Our Southern border is under siege and the enemies of freedom are on the march around the world," Pence said. "And worse still, timeless American values are under assault as never before. We’re better than this.”
Pence continued, adding, "We're better than this. We can turn this country around, but different times call for different leadership. Today, our party and our country need a leader that will appeal, as [Abraham] Lincoln said, to the better angels of our nature. It'd be easy to stay on the sidelines -- but that's not how I was raised. That's why today, before God and my family, I'm announcing I'm running for president of the United States."
"We can bring this country back, we can defend our nation and secure our border, we can revive our economy and put our nation back on a path to a balanced project, defend our liberties and give America a new beginning for life," Pence added. "President Reagan described this as a 'shining city on the hill'. And above all, he called on Americans to renew optimism, and believe in themselves again. To believe in each other."
Pence concluded by saying, "I believe in the American people. And I have faith. God is not done with America yet, and together, we can bring this country back and the best days – for the greatest nation on earth – are yet to come. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America."
