From Politico:

“The Bible tells us that there’s a time for every purpose under heaven. Traveling across the country over the past six months, I came here to say it’s become clear to me that it’s not my time. So after much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president effective today,” Pence said, to audible gasps from the audience gathered at the Venetian resort on the Las Vegas strip.

Attendees gave Pence a standing ovation. One person yelled, “Thank you Mike!” At the conclusion of the speech, Pence invited his wife, Karen, onstage.

“We thank God for his amazing grace. He gave us the courage to step forward so many years ago. And the wisdom to step aside,” Pence said. “My fellow Republicans, thank you for your kindness, your support and your prayers over the many years. As we go home to Indiana, let me assure you we leave here with optimism and faith. We don’t know what the future holds. But we know who holds the future, and with faith in him and boundless confidence in all of you, we know the best days for America and our most cherished ally for Israel, are yet to come.”

Even though there was no hint that Pence would suspend his campaign, his campaign had been doomed from the beginning.

He struggled to raise money and gain traction in the polls as he built a campaign on religious conservative values while breaking away from President Trump, over the events on Jan. 6.

His campaign also didn’t get a lot of traction because some people believe he is more interested in what is going on outside the United States than the current state of the country.

Even Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is running a distance second to Trump in the poll, called Pence a joke less than a week ago.
