(CNN) Former Vice President Mike Pence crisscrossed Iowa on Friday, assailing President Joe Biden’s administration for unleashing “a tidal wave of left-wing policies that threaten to wipe out all the progress that we made” in speeches that could preview his potential 2024 message.
The trip to the first presidential nominating state offered a window into how Pence is attempting to craft a political future outside the shadow of former President Donald Trump.
Despite four years of loyalty, Pence has drawn the ire of the GOP’s pro-Trump base over his refusal to heed Trump’s wishes and attempt without any legal mechanism to do so to thwart the counting of some states’ electoral votes on January 6.
