Mike Pence, ex-vice president, drops out of Republican presidential race

Republican leader ends campaign for the White House after struggling to raise money and gain traction in the polls. Former Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday dropped his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, ending his campaign for the White House after struggling to raise money and gain traction in the polls. A former vice president would typically be seen as a formidable challenger in any primary, but Pence has struggled to find a base of support. “I urge all my fellow Republicans here, give our country a Republican standard-bearer that will, as Lincoln said, appeal to the better angels of our nature,” he said, “and not only lead us to victory, but lead our nation with civility back to the time-honoured principles that have always made America strong and prosperous and free.” Trump, who spoke shortly after Pence at the RJC event, did not acknowledge his former vice president’s announcement on stage, but said on Saturday night at a separate event in Las Vegas that he believed Pence owed him his support. Among Trump critics, meanwhile, Pence was seen as an enabler who defended the former president at every turn and refused to criticise even Trump’s most indefensible actions.
