COLUMBIA, S.C. â Making it clear that South Carolina will not be treated as a flyover state for Mike Pence, the former vice president with possible 2024 presidential aspirations told a room of hundreds of Christian conservatives that winning back the White House in four years will start here.
The time has come to âstand up and unite behind a positive agendaâ and âwin back America,â Pence said in Columbia at a fundraising dinner. âAnd it starts right here and right now in South Carolina.â
In his first public remarks since leaving Washington â a departure marred by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot when a pro-Trump mob stormed the federal building, sending Pence and members of Congress to hide and barricade themselves â Pence took aim at the Biden administration. He said itâs poised to derail the success the Trump administration made over the past four years.

Pence touts our accomplishments in first remarks since leaving office By Adam Brewster Pence speaks in South Carolina
In first speech since leaving office, former Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday night highlighted what he saw as the accomplishments of the Trump administration while laying out what he called a positive agenda for the Republican party. Pence s public reemergence in an early primary state came as President Joe Biden marked his first 100 days in office and fueled speculation about a 2024 run.
In speaking to the Palmetto Family Council, a South Carolina social conservative Christian group, Pence criticized Mr. Biden for what he called an avalanche of liberal policies. He said the president wants to launch an explosion of runaway spending with his COVID relief plan, infrastructure proposal and the American Families Plan.
