> Former Vice President Mike Pence is evidently getting into the 2024 Presidential race next week. > So evidently is former New Jersey [governor] Chris Christie. > No. And no. > Both men had their time in the sun, and neither’s time extends to 2024. Pence’s was 2016, when he provided a dull, predictable counterweight to Trump’s wild ride. Christie’s was 2009-2010, when his unexpected election as governor of deep blue New Jersey gave him a high profile platform to criticize the Obama Administration’s many unpopular policy failures. > Neither has a prayer of beating Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump for the Republican nomination in 2024.
