"Mike Pence Drops Out of 2024 Presidential Race"

Former US Vice President Mike Pence has announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, citing it as "not his time." Pence, who struggled to gain support from Republican voters and faced financial challenges, is the first major Republican candidate to suspend his campaign in a race led by former President Donald Trump. Pence lost support after breaking with Trump over the Capitol riot and certifying Joe Biden's election results. He did not endorse any other candidates but called for a leader who would uphold American principles and lead with civility.
