This morning, Pence confirmed that his doctors have given him good news. The former vice president is now headed towards a full recovery and getting back to work. Next week, Pence is set to give a keynote speech in South Carolina; this speech will mark Pence’s first public remarks since his exit from the White House in January.
After Pence’s surgery last week, he issued a public statement thanking the healthcare staffers who were of aid to him.
The 2024 presidential race
While Pence is not yet confirming that he’ll seek the White House in 2024, some Americans view his upcoming keynote speech as a strong indicator.
After all, South Carolina is the state that conducts the very first primary election in the South; it is also the state which issues the third vote on the calendar for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination.
Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump indicated that he may run for president again in 2024 as well; however, the former president also declared that he didn’t want to make any commitments for legal reasons.
