Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has raised some eyebrows this morning with cryptic tweet starting a countdown until election day, 2024:
1,384 days

His two tweets which preceded that one are a Bible verse and his exit statement, where he says he’ll ‘never stop fighting for the American people’:
It has been an honor to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. Today, as I step down from this role as our nation’s top diplomat, I am proud of what we achieved — and I promise to never stop fighting for America #AmericaFirst 🇺🇸

So, what could his countdown tweet mean? Is Pompeo planning a run in 2024? Or is he just forecasting that someone will defeat Biden?
It’s hard to say, but I suspect Pompeo means he’s going to run for president in 2024. And you can bet there want be any shortage of Republicans vying for that position. It might be 2016 all over again. Personally, I’m hoping a certain Governor of Florida will decide to run, as he seems best suited to take up Trump’s mantle.
