Former Vice President Mike Pence Threatens To Run For President Again

Former Vice President Mike Pence says he is considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, after people across the country urged him to stand. He argued that the party should first set out its priorities, saying its direction matters to whether Republicans can win the presidency again.

Pence called for a return to traditional conservative principles, including strong national defence, limited government, fiscal responsibility and opposition to abortion. He said he would assess potential candidates, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, by their support for that agenda. Pence launched a 2024 presidential campaign but withdrew about a year before the election after it failed to gain traction.
