The former Indiana governor and congressman formally announced his candidacy on Wednesday, saying “different times call for different leadership.”
In a speech in in Ankeny, Iowa, Pence, the latest Republican to announce his nomination, described the election as a battle for the US that is “in trouble” under President Joe Biden administration.
“We can defend our liberties and give America a new beginning for life. But it will require new leadership -- in the White House and the Republican Party,” the former vice president said.
In his speech, Pence chastised Donald Trump for his “reckless” actions on January 6, 2021, took swipe at Joe Biden while singling out “enemies of freedom” around the world, naming Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, and China’s president, Xi Jinping, in the video.
Pence is the first vice president in modern history to challenge the president under whom he served. He argued that Trump had encouraged the mob that attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, and had incorrectly asserted that Pence had the power to overturn the election result.
“The American people deserve to know that on that day, President Trump also demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution. Now, voters will be faced with the same choice. I chose the Constitution and I always will,” Pence said.
Without naming Trump specifically, Pence said that “anyone” who would disregard the Constitution or place themselves above it should “never” be president, adding that Trump’s actions on January 6 should disqualify him from returning to power.
