We’re pretty sure no one has been on pins and needles awaiting former Vice President Mike Pence’s 2028 White House run announcement. Pence is unpopular with MAGA and has virtually no chance of getting past the primary, much less winning the presidency. His potential presidential run is about as electrifying as a dead battery. Despite this, Pence says his supporters are urging him to put his name out there as a contender.
Here’s a pensive Pence. (WATCH)
PENCE 2028? Former Vice President Mike Pence says he’s hearing from supporters nationwide about another presidential bid following the 2026 midterms.

“I don’t know what the future holds, but all of my energies, all of focus and my calling now is to be a champion and an advocate for the conservative principles that have defined our party”
Are "a lot of people" behind those bushes over there now?

Sure, there’s Leif, Russell, and Twiggy.
Posters wonder if the ‘supporters’ urging Pence to try for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination are even real.
How many voices does he hear? There's meds for that.

Sorry, Mike, that just isn't true. Literally, no one outside your family and a few Republicans in the Surrender Caucus want you to run for President.

Even people from his home state want nothing to do with him. Ouch!
Commenters laughingly suggest Pence team up with walking snooze fest Jeb Bush.

Nobody wants this guy as president. I’ve been to funerals where the corpse has more charisma than Mike pence.

Gag
Probably less stiff, too.
Posters have narrowed the ‘support’ to someone who introduced himself to Pence at the 2020 VP debate.
