(Radio Iowa) – Former Vice President Mike Pence rallied with Iowa G-O-P activists this weekend — encouraging Republicans to consider the 2022 election as part of the march to electing a Republican president in 2024.
Pence highlighted the record of the Trump-Pence administration on issues like trade and immigration and drew cheers from Iowa audiences when mentioning the three justices Trump appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Pence, who was born during Dwight Eisenhower’s presidency, spoke at Iowa G-O-P district conventions in Carroll and Independence, then on Saturday night he was the headliner for a Story County G-O-P fundraiser in Ames — delivering the same critiques of the Biden Administration at each stop.
Pence joins a line of Republicans who’ve made trips to Iowa, signalling they may compete for the G-O-P’s 2024 presidential nomination. Pence angered some of President Trump’s supporters for failing to stop President Biden’s Electoral College victory, but on Saturday Pence was greeted with handshakes and applause. Sharon McNutt of Silver City got a brief hug after a chat with the former vice president.
Steve Scheffler, president of the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition, says a lot can happen between now and the Iowa Caucuses, but Pence’s faith is a connection with many Iowans.
Dave Struthers of Collins says he’s always been impressed with Pence and thinks he could have a shot at the presidency in four years.
This was Pence’s third trip to Iowa since the 2020 election. The Iowa Democratic Party’s chairman says voters shouldn’t forget Pence led the charge to get congress to cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations during Trump’s time in office — and it was President Biden who got a bipartisan infrastructure bill across the finish line in his first year in office.
