Wow! Pence is a very weak and spineless man, he would be wasting his time and money running for president in 2024 too?!!

As he lines up a possible bid for the White House in 2024, former Vice President Mike Pence is campaigning with the strangest of political bedfellows, throwing his name and his money behind candidates who supported the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection that put the Indiana Republican’s life in danger.

On Wednesday, Pence raised money for a former aide now running for Indiana’s secretary of state, who called the 2020 election a “scam.” On Thursday, Pence will headline a fundraiser for one of the fake electors enlisted by Donald Trump and his allies in Georgia. And Pence has recently given his endorsement to top Republican candidates in New Hampshire and Arizona, despite their prior support for Trump’s 2020 election lie.

To Pence’s critics, the former vice president is stunningly craven to flirt with an issue that almost got him killed on Jan. 6. But to his supporters, the longtime Republican is deftly navigating the reality of the current Republican Party, split between multiple factions, and keeping the party from going completely off the rails.

Asked by CBS News earlier in October if Pence was supporting candidates “who denied the 2020 election results,” longtime Pence adviser Marc Short replied, “I guess that depends on your definition of denying the election results.”

They, the gutless GOP, is afraid of Donald, and even more so, Donald's MAGA militia, even Pence, you gain nothing in the GOP by admitting the truth
 
No One Is More Irrelevant in the GOP Than Mike Pence
May 24
Pence might have hoped that a year and a half out of the headlines might have improved Americans’ dim reputation of him. In fact, things only got worse. A Politico/Morning Consult survey conducted in the first half of May found Pence with a net favorability rating of -13, with only 38 percent of those polled saying they viewed Pence in a positive light. That’s eight percentage points worse than the same survey conducted almost exactly a year ago.

Inaction, always Pence’s preferred strategy, was not creating a viable pathway to the 2024 presidential campaign he sees in his future. That created a conundrum: if Pence wants to mount a serious run for president in 2024, he needs to at least appear to be playing a leadership role in the ideological fights roiling the GOP. But as his White House tenure proved, Pence is also a man of uncommon cowardice when it comes to taking a moral stand.
