Mounting Debt and Little Enthusiasm Threatens Mike Pence’s Campaign – Former VP Forced to Invest $150,000 into His Own Campaign
Turncoat Mike Pence has made it his campaign strategy to insult, smear, and attack his former running mate and President Trump at every stop and in every mainstream media interview.
Last week Mike Pence blamed President Trump after for the attack by Hamas on Israel. In back to back attacks in a speech in Iowa last Saturday after the massive slaughter by Hamas in Israel and on CNN interview on Sunday, Pence accused Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy of “appeasement” and “signaling retreat.” It was an insane assertion.
Later in the week Pence attacked President Trump for his statements on Hezbollah, a terror group that was noticeably silent during his administration. Steve Bannon laid into him for that one.
On Sunday NBC News reported that Mike Pence is low on cash. He raised only $3.3 million in the third quarter and has little cash on hand. Pence was forced to invest $150,000 of his own money to his campaign.
His days as a presidential candidate are coming to a close – Not soon enough!
NBC News reported:
Former Vice President Mike Pence’s 2024 campaign faces a potentially existential cash squeeze, with debt already piling up.
The campaign told NBC News it will report having raised $3.3 million in the third quarter, with $1.2 million cash on hand and $620,000 in debt, when its campaign finance filing is due to be made public Sunday. Pence himself chipped in $150,000 from his personal funds, the campaign said.
Pence’s numbers reveal a campaign under serious strain, operating on completely different financial terrain from that of his rivals, and they raise questions about his ability to continue to compete in the GOP primaries. Racking up debt, in particular, has long been a sign of presidential campaigns in trouble — and potentially on the verge of ending.
The last GOP presidential primary season offers an ominous parallel from this moment eight years ago: Then-Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign reported just under $1 million in the bank and $161,000 in debt at the end of the third quarter of 2015, the equivalent moment in that election cycle. That’s when he dropped out of the race.
