Former Vice President Mike Pence is suspending his struggling 2024 campaign. Show of hands – who’s surprised? Anyone? Anyone? Me neither. Addressing the Republican Jewish Coalition here in my hometown of Las Vegas, Pence told a crowd of about 1,000 people he’d come to the conclusion it “was not his time.” Pence was apparently facing the embarrassing possibility of not qualifying for the 3rd GOP debate. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1718336813646131343 From the Washington Post:
“After much prayer and deliberation I have decided to suspend my campaign for president,” he said. “Let me promise you I will never leave the fight, for conservative values and I will never stop.”
“We always knew this would be an uphill battle, but I have no regrets,” he said. “The only thing that would have been harder than coming up short.”
“I urge all my fellow Republicans here give our country a Republican standard-bearer that will, as Lincoln said, appeal to the better angels of our nature, and not only lead us to victory but lead our nation with civility back to the time-honored principles that have always made America strong and prosperous and free.”

Will Mike Pence’s votes spread or will both of them go to one candidate?
