Washington (AFP) - Former US vice president Mike Pence said Friday he would not be backing Donald Trump as his old boss runs for a second term in the White House. "It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year," Pence said in an interview with Fox News. US media called the announcement a "bombshell" and "startling," although in reality deep divisions have driven the two men apart since leaving office, and an endorsement would have been a surprise. The pair became estranged after Trump tried to pressure Pence to help him overturn his 2020 election defeat to J...

Washington (AFP) - US Senator Tim Scott announced Sunday that he is withdrawing from the US presidential race, saying voters had given him a clear message of "not now." The South Carolina lawmaker, who was running to become the first Black Republican president, had been struggling to rise above the pack in the party's crowded field. Polling in sixth place among Republican primary candidates, the 58-year-old had only 2.5 percent of the vote, according to the RealClearPolitics average of recent major opinion polls. "I am suspending my campaign. I think the voters who are the most remarkable peop...

Las Vegas (AFP) - Former US vice president Mike Pence dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Saturday, saying it was not "my time" -- and underlining his scandal-embroiled previous boss Donald Trump's total dominance of the Republican Party. The timing was a surprise. Pence got a warm reception when he stepped up to speak at the annual meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas, only to cause a shock by using the occasion to become the first major 2024 candidate to suspend his campaign. "It's become clear to me: this is not my time," Pence said. "After much prayer and consid...

Las Vegas (AFP) - Former vice president Mike Pence announced Saturday that he is withdrawing from the US presidential race, saying, "this is not my time." Speaking at the annual meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas, Pence -- the first major 2024 candidate to suspend his campaign, said: "It's become clear to me: this is not my time." "After much prayer and consideration, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president." Pence, along with most of his rivals seeking to be the Republican Party's nominee for next year's White House race, never gained momentum in a contest ove...

Washington (AFP) - Former US vice president Mike Pence launched his presidential campaign Wednesday by framing the Republican nomination as a choice between "reckless" Donald Trump and the Constitution -- arguing that his old boss's bid to overturn the last election should bar him from returning in 2024. Offering a spirited defense of the Trump White House's policies, the deeply religious former radio talk show host and Indiana governor said he was proud to stand with his running mate "every single day" during the 2017-21 administration. But he drew the line at the then-president's incitement ...

Washington (AFP) - Republican former vice president Mike Pence launched his bid for the 2024 presidential nomination on Monday, offering a traditionalist alternative to the battle royale being waged by populists Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. The evangelical Christian filed his paperwork with the Federal Election Commission ahead of an official declaration Wednesday in the early voting state of Iowa -- joining an already crowded field. Pence, 63, honed his reputation as an unstintingly loyal deputy who stuck with Trump throughout a scandal-plagued four years and brought the religious right int...

Washington (AFP) - Former US vice president Mike Pence testified Thursday in the federal investigation examining his ex-boss Donald Trump's role in the 2021 assault on the Capitol, US media reported. Pence appeared before a grand jury in Washington that could be weighing whether to prosecute the ex-president and his advisors over the January 6, 2021 effort to forcibly block Joe Biden from becoming president. Trump's attorneys had sought to block Pence's testimony, arguing that executive privilege from his time as president meant he could block Pence from speaking about internal White House mat...

Washington (AFP) - Former US vice president Mike Pence said Saturday that history would hold former president Donald Trump "accountable" for his role in the 2021 attack on the US Capitol, US media reported. The remarks are likely to widen the rift between the former running mates, who have been at loggerheads since Pence refused to go along with Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and remain in power. "President Trump was wrong," Pence said in a speech at the annual Gridiron Dinner in Washington, a white-tie gala put on by journalists that draws top politicians. "I had no rig...
