Mr. Pence will launch his campaign with a video and a speech in the early nominating state of Iowa tomorrow. Pence’s candidature competes against front-runner Trump, whom he once fiercely backed but declined to do so when the former president attempted to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
According to the news agency, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum is also planning to enter the race tomorrow and Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is jumping into the race tonight, bringing the total number of Republican candidates into double digits.
