The Epoch Times: 50 West Virginia State Legislators Endorse Trump for 2024
Fifty Republican state legislators from West Virginia have endorsed Donald Trump for president in 2024, stating that he supports responsible American First policies. The endorsement was organized by state House delegate Josh Holstein and includes 40 delegates and 10 senators from West Virgina’s state Legislature, where there are 89 Republicans in the 100-member House of Delegates. Other Republicans who have announced their candidacy for the 2024 race include Nikki Haley, Asa Hutchinson, Vivek Ramaswamy, Larry Elder, Tim Scott, and Ron DeSantis. Trump easily carried the state of West Virginia for both the 2016 and 2020 presidential races.
The Epoch Times: Pence Wouldn't Pardon Jan. 6 Defendants, Says Trump Indictment Would Send 'Terrible Message'
Former Vice President Mike Pence announced his intent to run for president in 2024 while speaking at a town hall in Iowa on June 7. He criticized President Joe Biden and distanced himself from former President Donald Trump on topics such as the January 6 breach of the Capitol, Russian President Vladimir Putin and government spending. Pence also stated that he would not pardon any individuals charged in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Trump has suggested he will pardon some individuals. Pence supports handling Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents without issuing an indictment.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is also running for president in 2024, similarly plans to be "aggressive" in pardoning individuals who he believes are victims of weaponization or political targeting. DeSantis believes that the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation have become "weaponized" and stated that he will have people look at all cases when he takes office. He also acknowledged that in some cases, individuals "may have a technical violation of the law." Pence's approach to current issues differs from Trump's, but he did support Trump regarding how his probe into classified documents is being handled. Polls show Trump as the frontrunner, followed by DeSantis and Pence.
