Mike Pence Floats Potential Presidential Bid: “A Lot of People Are Asking Me to Run!”

Could former Vice President Mike Pence be preparing to run for president — again?

It’s not out of the question…

During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Mike Pence was asked whether or not he plans to throw his hat into the ring for 2028.

While he didn’t give a clear answer, Pence said that “a lot of people” have been calling him up after the midterms encouraging him to run.

He also declared that “this version of Republicanism was just rejected by the American people.”

Notably, this is a major departure from earlier statements made by Mike Pence.

A couple months ago, he had said that he his not planning another presidential bid.

The Hill provided some additional background:

Two months ago, Pence said he had “no plans” for a bid for the White House or any other elected office in 2028.

Economic Club of Washington, D.C., Chair David Rubenstein, during an event for the organization at the time, asked the former vice president if he would consider another go at the White House.

“What I can tell you is that we have no plans,” Pence responded.

Pence took on Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primary. However, he later dropped out of the race following fundraising and polling trouble. Pence did not endorse Trump’s 2024 run and did not congratulate the president until after he won.

Trump and Pence’s relationship went south at the end of Trump’s first term, with Pence not stopping Congress’s certification of former President Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.

Pence’s suggestion that he might try to become President Trump’s successor — despite entirely betraying MAGA — is generating a lot of buzz online.
