Most polls show Mike Pence trailing in the low single figures - with the ex-vice president loathed by Trump loyalists for his hand in helping ratify the results of the 2020 election

A fundamentalist Christian, Mr Pence was seen as a champion of evangelical causes both before and during his stint as vice president – a vehement opponent of abortion and LGBT+ rights who does not believe in evolution and once said he supported creationism being taught in schools.

The campaign is expected to lean heavily on town halls and retail stops aimed at showcasing Mr Pence’s personality as he tries to emerge from Mr Trump’s shadow. It was reported earlier on Wednesday that former New Jersey governor and Trump frenemy Chris Christie also plans to enter the race next week, with a source pitching him as “a happy warrior who speaks his mind, takes risks and is happy to punch Donald Trump in the nose”.

Other candidates already declared include South Carolina senator Tim Scott, as well as Nikki Haley, former governor of South Carolina and Mr Trump’s former UN ambassador.
