Former Vice President Mike Pence didn’t file paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Monday declaring his candidacy for president in 2024, a spokesperson has clarified.
An FEC filing emerged on Monday declaring the presidential candidacy of “Mike Richard Pence” for the GOP. The filings prompted some news outlets to report that Pence had declared his presidential run.
But the legitimacy of the filings was debunked by Devin O’Malley, who was press secretary for Pence when he was vice president.
“Former Vice President Mike Pence did not file to run for President today,” O’Malley wrote on Twitter.
The documentation appeared on the FEC website as “raw” filings that the commission has yet to process.
