Mike Pence Breaks Public Silence, Seems to Eye 2024 Presidential Race

On Thursday, April 29, former Vice President Mike Pence gave his first public speech since leaving the White House back in January at a dinner hosted by the Palmetto Family Council, a conservative Christian lobbying group. During the 30 minute speech, Pence told the crowd that "the time has come for freedom-loving Americans to stand up to the far left agenda of the Biden-Harris administration and say enough is enough." 

The former vice president also announced his attendance at the dinner via Twitter. Later that night, he sent out another tweet criticizing the Biden administration for their "whole-hearted embrace of the radical left’s all-encompassing, rapidly-escalating war on American traditional values." 

Media outlets pointed out that the event was being held "in a critical presidential nominating state and in front of a gathering of evangelical voters he has long counted as part of his political base." Mike Pence's reemergence onto the public scene continued to spark speculations over the weekend that he was, indeed, eyeing a 2024 presidential run.
