Republican strategist Matt Klink told Newsweek that “Pence faces significant obstacles should he decide to seek the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.”
“His biggest challenge will be to separate himself from President Donald Trump. He served as Trump’s number two for four years,” Klink said. “If the former vice president were to get into the race, he would be yet another name in what’s expected to be a crowded field, which would be music to Donald Trump’s ears. Donald Trump needs a crowded GOP primary field because he brings a base—albeit a smaller base—to the table.”
He added, “Republicans need 2024 to be a ‘change’ election—one where the status quo gets rebuffed, Washington ‘insiders’ get challenged and younger candidates rise to the top.”
