Pence's Campaign Struggles with Increasing Debt

Former Vice President Mike Pence's 2024 campaign is facing financial strain, with $620,000 in debt and only $1.2 million cash on hand. Pence's fundraising numbers raise concerns about his ability to compete in the GOP primaries, as accumulating debt is often a sign of a struggling campaign. In comparison, his rivals, such as Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, have significantly larger campaign funds. Pence's limited cash position may hinder his campaign's activities, and a portion of his funds is not usable until the general election. With the upcoming Republican primary debate, Pence may face challenges in meeting the criteria for participation. Despite running on traditional conservative values, Pence's poll numbers have stagnated, and his party seems to have shifted in a different direction.
