A new contender has officially thrown their hat into the 2024 presidential race, on the Republican ticket, and frankly, it’s the one person on earth who is all but guaranteed to send scandal-plagued former President Donald Trump into a catastrophic tailspin of mental breakdowns.
According to new reporting from multiple outlets today, none other than Donald Trump’s own former vice president, Mike Pence, has formally filed the proper paperwork to officiate his entry into the 2024 presidential race, where he will run in direct opposition to his former close friend and boss.
As we’re all well aware, Trump and Pence have had a strained, tumultuous relationship ever since Donald’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election and the subsequent, deadly attack on the Capitol building on January 6th. Pence was inside the Capitol building, along with the whole of Congress, on the day of that infamous attack, in his official position as the overseer of the certification of the Electoral College votes that solidified Biden’s victory over Pence’s boss.
In the days leading up to the violent attack, Trump had put the majority of his time and energy into launching numerous public attacks against his own vice president, due to Pence’s refusal to go along with Donald’s unhinged and unlawful plan to overthrow the 2020 election results by using his VP as a surrogate to refuse the votes’ certification and send the election back to the states, where Trump and his cronies had installed “fake,” MAGA sycophantic electors. Donald’s unhinged, angry rhetoric against his own right-hand man played a large role in the danger Pence faced on that fateful day, as Trump’s violent mob called for Pence to be hanged in the street, as Trump watched on while refusing to intervene on behalf of his vice president’s safety.

Since Trump’s 2020 election defeat, Pence has been teasing at his own presidential run in the next election cycle. In recent days, the former Trump-era VP has been campaigning around Iowa and is expected to officially, publicly launch his 2024 presidential campaign at a Wednesday rally in Des Moines.
Trump has not reacted well to any of the individuals who have dared to run against him in the coming election. But this one… This one is sure to send him into a mental breakdown he may not return from.
