BREAKING NOOSE: Former Vice President Mike Pence will stick his neck into the 2024 GOP presidential primary and announce his bid for the White House in June, the Dispatch reports.
From there he’ll put together a sturdy platform – one without a trap door and lever – to rope in support among Iowa delegates, as Pence hopes to hang high in the fast-paced, low-oxygen campaign environment. The former Veep will focus hard on abortion policy in his push to gain traction in the early primary states, but don’t count out a bold proposal to reinstitute hanging as an execution method in federal capital punishment cases. That could really swing things his way.
