Just a quick post to say that Mike Pence, whose desire to placate trump by circumventing the Constitution is making news, is apparently running for POTUS in 2024:
Pence isn't waiting to make up with his former running mate -- nor is he waiting for the former President to make up his own mind about his political future. People around Pence rejected the idea that he would hold off on his 2024 planning until Trump announces whether he'll run.
[…] He is crisscrossing the country to help out Republican candidates and causes, assisting with everything from fundraising to lending his top aides to their campaigns. Aides say Pence is particularly focused on helping the GOP win the majority in the House and more governor's seats in the midterm elections next year.
[…] Pence advisers want to build a case that he was and remains a source of steady conservative leadership where Trump, implicitly, has not been.
Not waiting for trump?!? Who does he think he is, anyway? Especially since, as the article mentions, he’s not running as trump 2.0., but as "trying to help the party win seats, not foment division." Perhaps someone should tell him that the GQP loves to foment division; “divide and conquer” is one of its many unofficial mottos.
