WASHINGTON – Former Indiana Governor Mike Pence has dropped out of the race for the GOP nomination for President of the United States.

Pence, who served as the nation’s 48th Vice President under President Donald Trump, made the announcement Saturday at the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas.

According to polling data from Real Clear Politics, Pence was only receiving 3.5 percent support from prospective voters. That ranked fifth among nine Republican candidates.

“This is not my time,” said Pence. “I’m leaving this campaign, but I will never leave the fight for conservative values and I will never stop fighting to elect principled Republican leaders to every office in the land.”

Currently, Donald Trump is receiving the strongest support among GOP candidates, polling at 59.1 percent. Ron DeSantis is next at 12.6 percent, followed by Nikki Haley at 8.3 percent.

2024 State Primary Election dates are set for:

  • Indiana – May 7
  • Kentucky – May 21
  • Ohio – March 19
