Former Vice President Mike Pence is making a hard play for social conservatives as he prepares for a potential run for president
. And as some evangelical and conservative leaders express disenchantment with Pence’s old running mate, Donald Trump, this reliable bloc of Republican voters may be interested in finding a new champion in 2024. A longtime social conservative and prominent evangelical Christian, Pence is laying the groundwork early to appeal to some of the religious right’s most influential pastors, activists and celebrities.
His efforts come as social conservative leaders say Trump is making a mistake in dismissing their voters, given that their support in 2016 and 2020 for the twice-divorced, formerly pro-choice Republican nominee was transactional and conditional – the better option, in social conservatives’ mind, than Democrats Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. But for the 2024 primary, the field of acceptable candidates is wide open.
