Former Vice President Mike Pence’s presidential campaign announcement in Des Moines, Iowa may make sense from a historical perspective, but it appears that he is running for a Republican Party that no longer exists – one that he helped semi-unwittingly destroy by helping Donald Trump win the presidency in 2016. Pence’s strong anti-abortion views may potentially be a drag on his candidacy, as voters are rebelling against abortion restrictions. Additionally, his affect and demeanor are as flat as the landscapes in Indiana, and his defense of Trump – even after the former president insulted him and said he “deserved” rioters’ demands to hang him on January 6 – sets a new standard for wimpiness. Despite his challenges, the optimistic case for Pence is that Trump will eventually falter due to multiple indictments, leaving GOP voters looking for a steady hand they know, which Pence could provide. However, his prospects currently seem bleak, as he has dropped to less than 4% in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
