Former Vice President Mike Pence will enter the 2024 presidential race June 7 with a kickoff event in Iowa, The Post has learned.
Pence, 63, will mark his entrance to the GOP primary with a speech in Des Moines, a source familiar with the vice president’s plans said. He is also scheduled to take part in a CNN town hall the same day.
“We view this race as absolutely wide open, and Iowa is really going to solidify itself as the pivotal player,” a source close to the situation told NBC News.
“It’s a place that values Mike Pence’s principles — traditional conservative principles — deep-rooted faith and uncommon character.”
A super PAC supporting Pence, Committed to America, launched earlier this month.
Pence’s entrance will pit him against his former running mate, Donald Trump, as well as an increasingly crowded field of Republican candidates.
Pence broke with Trump, 76, over his claims the 2020 election was decided by fraud.
