Pence Denies 2020 Election Report

Mike Pence’s press secretary has denied an explosive report from The New York Times Saturday that the vice-president is among a group of Republicans already preparing a “shadow campaign” for president in 2020. President Donald Trump is just over six months into his first term and has never suggested that he would not seek re-election for a second term.

“Claims @VP preparing for 2020 run are ridiculous #FakeNews and nothing more than wishful thinking by New York Times,” Marc Lotter tweeted, borrowing one of Trump’s slogans and tagging on a Pinocchio emoji for good measure.




Yet, according to the report, Pence’s recent activity is more in keeping with a vice-president in the dwindling days of a president’s second term who is preparing for a run at the top job. In May, Pence took the step of launching his own political action committee— the “Great America Committee”—the first time a sitting vice-president has set up his own political arm.

The move provoked much speculation about his personal ambitions for 2020, although sources close to Pence insisted that the committee was set up to help support Republican candidates ahead of the 2018 midterms.

Pence's PAC may have been set up to cover expected legal expenses. Trump has done the same. Pence was chosen for tRump by Manafort.
