Former Vice President Mike Pence on Monday filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to launch his 2024 Republican presidential bid, setting him up to challenge his former boss, former President Donald Trump.
The FEC filing comes as Pence is reportedly planning on launching his campaign on June 7, his birthday, during a rally in Des Moines, Iowa.
Pence is third in hypothetical primary surveys with 5.4% support on average, according to FiveThirtyEight, an outlet that averages surveys. With an average of 53.9%, Trump is far ahead of Pence. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is also ahead of Pence with 21.1% support.
