Two more Republicans are set to enter the 2024 presidential race next week in what already appears to be a crowded field.
Both Mike Pence and Chris Christie will announce their candidacies during the second week of June, according to new reports today:

I’m not interested in neither of these candidates to be honest. The ship sailed for Chris Christie a long time ago and I’m honestly surprised he’s even running.
And Mike Pence….well let’s just say that his foray as Trump’s Vice President didn’t win him any awards. And his governorship before that gave him problems too, such that he’s just not the man he used to be when I had such respect for him in the House.
The crowded field will likely just make it harder for a candidate like DeSantis to emerge, but we’ll have to see if he can overcome it all.
