From a Wall Street Journal story by Alex Leary and John McCormick headlined “Mike Pence Drops Out of 2024 Republican Presidential Race”:
Former Vice President Mike Pence withdrew from the Republican presidential race Satur, saying “this is not my time” after he struggled to gain traction in a crowded field dominated by former President Donald Trump.
“I’m leaving this campaign but let me promise you I will never leave the fight for conservative values,” Pence said during a speech before the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas.
