Former Vice President Mike Pence has revealed what he thinks is his greatest strength if he chooses to run for president in the 2024 election.
Pence, who served as vice president under former President Donald Trump, argued that his advantage in a hypothetical 2024 run is that he thinks “the American people know the Pences,” according to an interview he did with Fox News Digital.

“By and large, they know our story and our career, and some are getting to know it better every day,” Pence said. “So, we think we have time to be discerning, to be reflective, to listen.”
Pence added that he and his wife, former second lady Karen Pence, “both believe that we’ll have a clear sense of our call this spring.”
The former vice president discussed his 2024 advantage during a donor retreat hosted by the conservative group the Club for Growth. During a speech Pence made at the event, he argued that “Republicans and conservatives cannot abandon our commitment to fiscal responsibility and reform, and that includes commonsense reforms to Social Security and Medicare.”
The topic of reforming Social Security and Medicare has become divisive within the GOP, with Trump warning Republicans to avoid getting involved with adjusting the programs.

The White House race currently has three major candidates among the Republicans: Trump, former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Pence avoided backing his former boss when asked about it on Wednesday, saying, “I think we’ll have better choices.”
As of Saturday, President Joe Biden has not made an official announcement yet on if he will seek reelection. Liberal Democrat Marianne Williamson announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination on Saturday with an attack on the U.S. economic system.
