Mike Pompeo Rules Out 2024 Presidential Run

Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State and CIA director, announced that he will not run for president in 2024 due to personal reasons. However, he did not rule out the possibility of running in the future. Pompeo has distanced himself from former President Donald Trump while remaining close to his political groups. He attended the Conservative Political Action Conference in March and criticized Trump without mentioning his name. Pompeo defended the United States' relationship with Saudi Arabia and took the side of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who was found to have ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Mike Pompeo Rules Out 2024 Presidential Run

Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State and C.I.A. director in the Trump administration, has announced that he will not seek the Republican nomination for president in 2024. Pompeo had previously indicated his interest in running and toured early primary states, but ultimately decided that "this isn't our moment." He declined to endorse former President Donald Trump and obliquely criticized him, saying that "Americans are thirsting for people making arguments, not just tweets." Pompeo's aggressive foreign policy positions and ethics violations left him with an increasingly narrow lane for a presidential bid in a Republican Party whose base has shifted away from hawkish views in recent years.

Mike Pompeo Rules Out 2024 Presidential Run

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on Friday that he will not be running for president in 2024, citing it as a "deeply personal decision." Although he had been fueling speculation about a potential bid, he claimed that Donald Trump did not factor into his decision. Pompeo also took a few shots at the former president, stating that Americans are looking for someone who can clearly articulate their vision for the country, not just tweet. Pompeo launched the political group Champion American Values PAC in 2021 to support conservative candidates ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

Mike Pompeo rules out 2024 presidential bid.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that he will not be seeking the Republican nomination for president in 2024, citing personal reasons and the timing not being right for him and his family. Pompeo had been exploring a presidential bid and began doing more public events as he published a memoir, but in recent months, he largely disappeared from public view. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who also served under former President Donald Trump, announced her campaign in February and has sought to carve out a foreign policy lane for herself — a lane Pompeo would also have occupied in a primary.

The Ongoing Conflict: Updates on Russia-Ukraine War and Olympic Standoff.

Finland will become the 31st member of NATO on Tuesday, prompting a warning from Russia that it would bolster its defences near their joint border if NATO deployed any troops inside the country. Ukraine has said Russian forces are “very far” from capturing the eastern town of Bakhmut, and former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo visited Ukraine on Monday and said he would work towards Washington supplying F-16 fighter jets and long-range missiles for the country’s war against Russia. Russian police have arrested a woman suspected of delivering a bomb that killed a prominent pro-war Russian military blogger in a blast in a cafe in central St Petersburg on Sunday.
