In a speech in an early-voting state that would be central to his strategy for winning the Republican presidential nomination, Pence touted his work as vice president casting tie-breaking votes in the Senate, pushing to end funding for Planned Parenthood clinics and being the first vice president to address the Right to Life March.
In addition to vowing to end abortion in all 50 states, Pence also promised to push for increased support for crisis pregnancy centers across the country, and to seek to outlaw the mailing of abortion pills to women seeking to terminate their pregnancies.Perhaps most notably, however, the staunchly pro-life former vice president to Trump delivered a campaign-style speech that made only a fleeting mention of the “Trump-Pence administration.
The speech in Florence, however, was just the start of a series of campaign stops scheduled for the coming days, including one in Arizona, where Pence and Trump have endorsed different Republican candidates for governor.The Democratic National Committee laced into Pence ahead of Wednesday night's speech, painting him as out of step with the majority of the country on abortion.
Trump’s support within the Republican Party has sagged to its lowest point since before he won the GOP presidential nomination in 2016. In part as a result of the Jan. 6 committee hearings and Trump’s refusal to move on from his defeat to Biden in 2020, that softening of support appears to have created an opening for Pence, who many Republicans had largely written off as a presidential contender.
Forget about it. Not gonna happen.
DBChirpy I will never vote Republican again. They’ve moved so far right they are fascist. 35 years as a Republican but no more.
