Mike Pence Suspends 2024 Presidential Campaign Amid Poor Polling, Fundraising Struggles

Pence's early exit from the 2024 Presidential Race marks the first significant dropout from the Republican field; Poor performance in polls, insufficient fundraising, and resistance from Trump-supporting voters cited as key reasons for campaign suspension.

Former Vice President Mike Pence pulled out of the 2024 Presidential race after struggling to gain traction with Republican voters and facing financial difficulties with his campaign.
Even among evangelical voters in Iowa, Pence's support had dwindled to just 1%, leading to dwindling attendance at his campaign events.
Participation in the certification of the 2020 Presidential Election results following the January 6 riots, sparked resentment among Trump supporters that proved detrimental to Pence's campaign.
When announcing the suspension of his campaign, Pence called for a Republican candidate that upheld 'civility', indirectly criticizing former President Trump's polarizing leadership style.
Despite fundraising controversies with Pence's campaign owing $620,000 and having only $1.2 million cash in hand, Trump remains the leading contender among Republican voters for the 2024 Presidential Race.
