Mike Pompeo rules out 2024 presidential bid.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that he will not be seeking the Republican nomination for president in 2024, citing personal reasons and the timing not being right for him and his family. Pompeo had been exploring a presidential bid and began doing more public events as he published a memoir, but in recent months, he largely disappeared from public view. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who also served under former President Donald Trump, announced her campaign in February and has sought to carve out a foreign policy lane for herself — a lane Pompeo would also have occupied in a primary.
