Republicans had a secret ballot yesterday afternoon to make the decision.
Former Vice President Mike Pence ended September with just $1.18 million cash-on-hand, according to recent filings, and owed $621,000 in debt.FILE - Mike Pence speaks with reporters after signing papers to get on the Republican presidential primary ballot, Oct. 13, 2023.faces mounting debt and lagging poll numbers that are forcing questions about not only whether he will qualify for the next debate, but whether it makes sense for him to remain in the race until then.
“For Pence and many of the others, you gotta start looking and saying, ‘I’m not going to go into substantial debt if I don’t see a pathway forward,’” said former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who ran against Trump in 2016 but abandoned his bid after concluding “the Trump train had left the station.”Republican presidential candidate former Vice President Mike Pence speaks during a Republican presidential primary debate Aug. 23, 2023.
The campaign is also working aggressively to reach the 70,000-donor threshold needed to qualify for next month’s debate and expressed confidence they could get there if they try — even as others remain skeptical he can make it. Another person cautioned that Pence, a devout Evangelical Christian who sees the campaign as a calling, may respond differently than other candidates might in his position if he feels called to stay in the race.
Regardless of what he decides, the predicament facing the former vice president underscores just how dramatically Trump has transformed the GOP.He has cast himself as the field's most traditionally conservative candidate in the mold of Ronald Reagan. But many of his positions — from maintaining U.S. support for Ukraine's defense against the Russian invasion to proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare — are out of step with much of his party's base.
But Pence has also faced the same challenge as every candidate in the field not named Trump, a singular figure whose grip on the party has only intensified as he has been charged with dozens of crimes.“If something big doesn’t happen on Nov. 8, the primary is over. Some would argue it is now,” said Walker, who entered the 2016 Republican primary as a front-runner only to end his campaign in September 2015, months before a single vote was cast, amid mounting debt.
