Former VP Mike Pence suspended his 2024 presidential campaign in response to the legion of Republican voters who remain loyal to former president Donald Trump. Unwavering support for Trump brings into question whether or not the flipping of his co-conspirators and the ongoing election case will impact his candidacy.
Faculty experts at the George Washington University are available to offer insight, analysis and commentary on Pence’s suspended campaign and Trump’s ability to maintain Republican support despite the ongoing election case. To schedule an interview with an expert, please contact GW Media Relations Specialist Tayah Frye at [email protected] or Senior Media Relations Specialist Cate Douglass at [email protected].
