“#Eying 2024, Pence makes 1st speech since leaving office<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

COLUMBIA, S.C. \u2014 In his first public address since the end of the Trump administration, former Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday put down a marker for a potential return to elected office, telling an audience in early-voting South Carolina that he will use the coming months \u201cpushing back on the liberal agenda\u201d he says is wrong for the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to guard our values \u2026 by offering a positive agenda to the American people, grounded in our highest ideals,\u201d Pence told an audience of several hundred at a Columbia dinner sponsored by a conservative Christian nonprofit that lobbies for what it considers to be \u201cbiblical values,\u201d such as heterosexual marriage. \u201cNow, over the coming months, I\u2019ll have more to say about all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The choice of South Carolina for Pence\u2019s post-administration debut has definite political overtones, helping him develop exposure for a potential 2024 presidential bid. The state holds the first presidential primaries in the South, and candidates of both major parties typically spend more than a year in the state ahead of those votes, introducing themselves and trying to secure support.<\/p>\n

Republican candidates use South Carolina as a proving ground to test their anti-abortion rights mettle. Thursday\u2019s event, hosted by Palmetto Family Council, also gave Pence a backdrop for some of the issues for which he long advocated as an Indiana congressman-turned-governor, such as restrictions on abortion and support for the overturn of Roe v. Wade. Palmetto Family most recently helped push through a ban on most South Carolina abortions, a law now being challenged in federal court.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will stand with the right of every American, of every faith, to live, to work, to speak and to worship according to the dictates of their conscience<\/a>,\u201d Pence said.<\/p>\n

Pence, who since leaving office has been doing work with the Heritage Foundation and Young America\u2019s Foundation, has not indicated if he plans a future run. As vice president, he made numerous trip<\/a>s to South Carolina, meeting several times with Gov. Henry McMaster for coronavirus-related forums and campaigning in the state for U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham and U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace.<\/p>\n

But the question is whether Pence\u2019s former boss still looms large for the possible Republican field. Former President Donald Trump has not explicitly stated his plans but has teased a possible bid. On Thursday morning, asked on Fox Business about running in 2024, Trump said he\u2019s \u201c100%\u201d thinking about it and would even possibly consider Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as his running mate.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, another possible GOP contender, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, said when asked about 2024 by The Associated Press\u00a0that she would stand down\u00a0if Trump opted to run again. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo\u00a0has launched an aggressive schedule, visiting states that will play a pivotal role in the 2024 primaries and signing a contract with Fox News<\/a> Channel. DeSantis has been courting donors, including in Trump\u2019s backyard, with a prominent speaking slot before the former president at a GOP fundraising retreat dinner this month at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida resort where Trump now lives.<\/p>\n

Earlier Thursday, South Carolina Democratic Chair Trav Robertson said Pence was coming to the state to \u201ctry and salvage his relationship\u201d with Trump supporters irked that Pence didn\u2019t support efforts to block certification of the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Pence promised to reveal more of his ideas soon, promising that he would be challenging the Biden administration\u2019s \u201cavalanche of liberal policies\u201d as he ramps up speaking engagements around the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the winning agenda,\u201d Pence told Thursday\u2019s crowd. \u201cAnd now it\u2019s incumbent upon us to take that winning agenda to the American people.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
