Mike Pence Launches 2024 Presidential Campaign with Controversial Views.

Former US Vice President Mike Pence launched his 2024 campaign and criticized his former boss, Donald Trump, accusing him of being unfaithful to the US constitution and abandoning conservative values. Pence argued that Trump had encouraged the mob that attacked the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 and had incorrectly asserted that Pence had the power to overturn the election result. Pence also took shots at Democratic President Joe Biden and another Republican 2024 rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Pence is joining an increasingly crowded Republican field for the 2024 nomination, and it is rare for a former vice-president to directly challenge an ex-boss for the White House.
