Pence joins presidential race.
Pence and his advisers see Iowa — the state that will cast the first votes of the GOP nominating calendar — as. Its caucus-goers include a large portion of evangelical Christian voters, whom they see as a natural constituency for Pence. They also think Pence, who represented Indiana in Congress and as governor, is a good personality fit with the Midwestern state.
And Pence faces steep challenges. He enters the race as among the best-known Republican candidates in a crowded GOP field that now includes Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
Pence’s favorability has also slipped in Iowa, according to The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll. But Pence, who has already visited Iowa more than a dozen times since leaving office, has also received a warm welcome from voters during his trips. Duringover the weekend that drew a long list of 2024 candidates, Pence stood out as the only candidate to actually mount a Harley and participate in the event’s annual motorcycle ride. When he arrived at a barbecue at the state fairgrounds, he moved easily from table to table, warmly greeting and chatting with attendees.
